At Cala, we're passionate about building communities, not just homes. Our showhomes in Tonbridge will not only give you a glimpse into the Cala lifestyle, they will also showcase the small businesses, local talent and the new community we are now a part of at Barden Croft.

Showhome of Support spotlights great pieces from a select number of local businesses in Tonbridge. All displayed in our 4 bedroom Rowan showhome, they bring a unique flavour of what this exciting town and new development has to offer.

The showhome captures the essence of Kent’s fragrances, with a beautifully handcrafted three-wick candle from Gatehouse, scented with Sandalwood and Black Pepper, as well as a Pure Peace Reed Diffuser by Karen Alexandra, offering a traditional English Rose scent. The gorgeous aromas continue throughout the home with The Kentish Soap Company’s Soap Bar from Carr & Westley, featuring a fragrant blend of Rose Geranium and Palmerosa, made with natural essential oils.

In the kitchen, visitors are greeted with an array of treats from local producers. These include Greensand Ridge’s premium Raspberry Ghost Dry Gin, which encapsulates the rich flavour of Kentish raspberries, and Kent Dry Gin from Anno, which incorporates botanical flavours synonymous with the idyllic Kent countryside. Visitors can also find a 2013 Vintage Reserve Brut Half Bottle from Digby Fine English, and Pilgrims Raspberry Jam from Groombridge Farm Shop, a Gold Award winner at the 2005 Taste Awards.

The showhome also features bespoke creations from talented local artists. Notable pieces include a hand-illustrated cushion cover from Debbie Draws Maps, showcasing a map of Kent with the artist’s favorite local landmarks, as well as an illustrated print of Tonbridge Castle by Imogen Partridge, and a charming Tonbridge-themed mug, also by Debbie Draws Maps. Each item brings its own personality to the Barden Croft showhome.
