living, in a ground floor apartment in Albury Park,
the Grade II* Listed former home of the Duke

Pugin both designed additions. The apartment
has all the scale and grandeur that implies.

acres of stunning parkland.
Beds: 4 Baths: 3
Special features: The huge kitchen’s vaulted ceiling.

Northumberland, were laid out by 17th century
landscape gardener John Evelyn and include rare
trees and a yew walk. They are Grade I Listed
on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
The River Tillingbourne runs through it.
Time to town: Gomshall station is seven minutes
away – timetable currently subject to change due to
the pandemic, normally under an hour to Waterloo.
