Grade II* listed buildings in Ashford (borough)

Grade II* listed buildings in Ashford (borough) are a select group of buildings identified as being particularly important structures of more than special interest within the Ashford borough in Kent, England. Listing indicates that the building is officially recognised as being of architectural or historical significance and is protected from demolition or unsympathetic alteration under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

Grade II* is the second highest of the three grades of listed buildings in England and Wales. The "II*" designation signifies buildings that are particularly important, being of more than special interest. They represent roughly 4% of all listed buildings.

The decision to list a building and assign it a specific grade is made by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on the advice of Historic England. The criteria considered include architectural merit, historical significance, and rarity. Buildings of architectural merit may display notable design features, craftsmanship, or innovation. Historical significance may relate to important events, people, or aspects of social or economic history. Rarity considers the survival of building types or features that are no longer common.

Owners of Grade II* listed buildings are responsible for their upkeep and preservation and must obtain listed building consent from the local planning authority (Ashford Borough Council) before carrying out any works that would affect the building's character or appearance. This ensures that the historic and architectural value of the building is protected for future generations. Public access to these buildings varies and may be restricted depending on ownership and use. Further information can often be obtained from Ashford Borough Council and Historic England.
