Albury Park: An award-winning restoration in Surrey


The people behind the magnificent restoration of Surrey's landmark Albury Park Mansion have been recognised yet again for their work to transform this historic Grade II* property into 12 luxury apartments.

Michael Wilson Restorations and Chelsminster Estates scooped the Highly Commended award in the Best Conversion category at the Evening Standard New Homes Awards last week.

“Albury Park Mansion is such a beautiful house and it has been a privilege to restore it to its former glory,” Michael Wilson, said.

This latest accolade comes less than six months after Mike and his team were awarded with not one but two Gold Awards at the What House? Awards 2013; one for Best Restoration and the other for Best Landscape Design.


Built in the 17th century, Albury Park Mansion is an exceptionally elegant stately home, which stands in 150 acres of parkland owned by the Duke of Northumberland.

The house itself includes features by architects of note such as Augustus Pugin who, among other
changes, added the 63 ornate candlestick chimneys, and Sir John Soane, who designed the cantilevered staircase - thought to be the first of its kind.

Once divided into flats for the elderly and latterly used as a wedding venue, Albury Park has been
given a new lease of life through the creation of these luxury homes, which range from 700 sqft to 6,000
sqft.
