Location
The former Weeks Garage site lies on the northern side of Smarden Road roughly a mile south-west of the village of Pluckley in mid-Kent. This is a very rural location with the nearest A road being the A20 four miles to the north-east at Charing, which gives access to the M20 and the motorway network at Ashford, a further 5 miles or so to the south-east.
Ashford, one of Kent's designated growth centres, currently has a population of approximately 85,000 inhabitants and is set to grow substantially in the next 20 years. The town is centrally located within the county, benefitting from a fine communications network via the A20/M20 and five mainline railways. Ashford International Passenger station can give direct access to northern continental Europe via Eurostar and London is some 38 minutes distant via HS-1.
Description

There is a securely fenced yard and gated entrance to the side and rear. Also in the rear is an unusual building created from two steel cargo containers and lightweight steel fabrication, providing further storage/studio/showroom/office accommodation of nearly 990 sq.ft.
