Grand First-Floor Apartment in a Historic Country House

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 architect behind the interiors of the Palace of Westminster, offering an extraordinary blend of heritage architecture and contemporary design. Inside, the apartment features an expansive drawing room with bespoke floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and an intricate period fireplace. A deep bay window frames uninterrupted views over the manicured communal gardens and park beyond. The adjoining kitchen and dining room, designed by Harvey Jones, are fitted with high-spec Miele appliances, anchored by a central island with generous storage and elegant finishes. The principal suite boasts a large dressing area and ensuite bathroom, complemented by two further double bedrooms, each with ensuites, providing ample space for guests or family. A separate study with bespoke cabinetry serves as a quiet workspace, while the utility room and guest cloakroom enhance practicality. Every detail has been considered: Rako lighting, in-ceiling speakers, Cat-6 cabling, and a Banham security system are thoughtfully integrated. The apartment also includes a private garage and an additional designated parking space at the front of the house. Albury Park is set within five acres of communal grounds, featuring 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.
