this apartment occupies the first floor of albury park mansion, a historic country house set in sweeping parkland by the river tillingbourne. grade ii listed and steeped in history, the mansion was reimagined in the 19th century by augustus pugin, the same architect behind the interiors of the palace of westminster, and today it offers an extraordinary combination of heritage architecture and contemporary design.
inside, the apartment opens into an expansive drawing room, lined with bespoke floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and centred around an intricate period fireplace. a deep bay window draws the eye outwards, framing uninterrupted views over the manicured communal gardens and park beyond.
the adjoining kitchen and dining room have been designed by harvey jones and fitted with the highest specification appliances by miele. a central island anchors the space, with generous storage and elegant finishes throughout.
the principal suite is beautifully proportioned, with a large dressing area and an ensuite bathroom. two further double bedrooms, both with their own ensuites, provide ample space for guests or family. a separate study, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, is a quiet workspace, while the utility room and guest cloakroom add practicality.
every detail has been considered: rako lighting, in-ceiling speakers, cat-6 cabling, and a banham security system have been thoughtfully integrated. the apartment also benefits from a private garage and a further designated parking space at the front of the house.
albury park sits within some five acres of communal grounds, with clipped lawns, ancient trees and gentle walks beside the tillingbourne. the wider setting, the surrey hills area of outstanding natural beauty, offers miles of glorious countryside, from the slopes of st martha’s hill to the waters of silent pool. the postcard-pretty villages of albury and shere are just moments away, while guildford, with its historic high street, theatres and mainline station, is a ten-minute drive. london waterloo is 35 minutes by train.
