Jason Colmer, Sales & Marketing Director for Cala Homes North Home Counties, said: “We’re delighted to see our Showhome of Support initiative return to Kelvedon, to continue supporting local businesses in Essex.
“Essex is full of brilliant independent retailers, who were more than happy to be featured in our new Aylett’s Green showhome.
“In the current economic climate, it can be tough for small businesses so it’s great that we can showcase the high-quality suppliers that neighbours our growing development. With the help of these businesses, we can give Aylett’s Green showhome a unique identity, that reflects the area’s amazing talent.”
In the heart of Kelvedon is where you’ll discover Aylett’s Green, a collection of 1- & 2-bedroom apartments for sale in Essex and 2 to 5 bedrooms detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses for sale in Essex to suit everyone’s preference.
