Highfield is a ward within the borough of Ashford in Kent, England. It is largely residential, with a mix of post‑war and more recent housing, local shops, schools and community facilities, and small pockets of green space that give it a neighbourhood feel rather than an urban core.
Being part of Ashford, the ward shares in the town’s wider economic and social shifts: improved commuter links such as Ashford International Station and the M20 have influenced local development and property demand, while active community groups and local initiatives maintain a sense of local identity rooted in the surrounding Stour valley countryside.
