The three bedroom apartments are in the converted former mill, and the four storey miller's house has been restored to create a large four bedroom home with open plan living space and new orangery making up part of the kitchen, which looks out over the mill race and pond. * Search for premium property in Surrey The developer is also building two riverside houses, which will have a far more contemporary look from the outside. One will have four bedrooms and the other, which is a two storey new house linked to a small 14 square feet period building by a bridge, will have three bedrooms and a glass double storey atrium. Cars can be parked on one side of the stream and there will be a footbridge leading to each building. The village has a range of good amenities with a post office, general store, village hall and pub and there is good access to London: Albury is only three miles from the A3 and eight miles from the M25. Prices range from £499,950 to £1.25 million. For more information, please contact Clarke Gammon Wellers, 01483 202016, or log onto www.clarkegammon.co.uk. * Search for premium property in Surrey
