A Quantum of 007 tickets for visitors at SW19 Sanctuary

On Friday 14th November, from 6.00 pm to 9.00 pm, Barratt Southern Counties is holding a James Bond-themed casino and cocktail party to showcase its popular Wimbledon development, SW19 Sanctuary. The first 50 to join the evening's entertainment and view the development will receive Odeon tickets to the latest Bond film, ‘A Quantum of Solace'.

The party celebrates the launch of the final remaining apartments at this great development of studio, one and two-bedroom apartments, where prices start at £196,955. The appeal of SW19 Sanctuary is such that 80 per cent of the first phase has already sold off-plan.

In true 007-style, a red carpet welcome awaits those viewing the two show apartments. Viewers can also try their hand at roulette and blackjack, whilst stirring Bond's trademark dry martini with the other.

Anyone reserving an apartment at the party will automatically win a track day for two where they can test-drive the latest Aston Martin, the quintessential Bond car.

"It's a fun evening but our purpose is serious", says Trevor Sawyer, managing director of Barratt Southern Counties. "We want to show off SW19 Sanctuary to its best advantage as an exciting new community to live in, and as a development that brings services and job opportunities to Wimbledon, to the benefit of all."

Barratt's Dream Start offer is available to purchasers at SW19 Sanctuary and means they can own 100 per cent of a property here whilst only finding 75 per cent of the cost. The deferred 25 per cent is interest-free, with no rental element. On sale or at any time up to 10 years, whichever is earlier, Barratt is repaid 25 per cent of the sale proceeds or of the ruling open-market value.

Built on the site of the former Wimbledon Dons football ground, the development blends a riverside location with attractive contemporary design. All the apartments have balcony views, many over the inviting gardens and a lively communal verandah. There are also approximately 400 parking spaces available for residents, a rare commodity in London. Many of the homes are available for immediate occupation.

The mixed-use development will also make provision for 45,000 sq ft of retail space, creating both necessary facilities and employment opportunities for the existing community.

It is unsurprising that the development has been so popular. It is located in the enviable SW19 postcode and regular services from Wimbledon Station reach London Waterloo in under 20 minutes. The area also boasts excellent recreational facilities, including Wimbledon Common, the largest open area of green space in south-west London, and Wimbledon Park.

Prices at SW19 Sanctuary start from £196,995 for a studio apartment. For further information log on to Barratthomes.co.uk.
