Location
This property, formerly trading as Po Thai Restaurant, is located on the southern side of Park Street, to the left of the McDonalds car park. It is opposite The Panorama building and is only a few hundred yards walking distance of Ashford town centre. Whilst this is a prominent trading location on a busy thoroughfare it is in a secondary position, however it will be adjacent to a development site proposed to be a hotel in the near future. Other nearby traders include Café Nero, Halifax Building Society, The British Heart Foundation and Bet Fred.

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
This detached building of solid brick construction provides approximately 3,600 sq.ft. of accommodation over three floors.

The first floor of just under 1,300 sq.ft. is open plan and includes bar, kitchen and WCs. The second floor of just under 650 sq.ft. was previously used as offices and staff restroom accommodation and is split into several areas which formerly included a kitchen, shower room and WC.
