An apartment that once formed part of the stately home used as a filming location for Hugh Grant romcom Four Weddings And A Funeral has gone on sale for £2.8million ($3.6million).

The luxury apartment covers 4,211 sq ft and comprises a communal reception hall, entrance hall, utility area, kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a gym, spa, sauna, wine stores, double garage, private garden and communal gardens.
The estate also featured in the 1994 British romantic comedy Four Weddings And A Funeral when Andie MacDowell's character Carrie marries Hamish (pictured).
Albury Park, in Surrey, is mentioned in the Domesday Book, which dates the estate back to at least 1066. The Grade II-listed building underwent extensive renovation 12 years ago, where the mansion was transformed into several modern apartments.
The plush accommodation also includes a gym, spa, sauna, wine stores, double garage, private garden and communal gardens.
It also features this cosy bar snug area - which has room for a fair few friends.
Albury Park has had several different owners over the years, including Sir John Soane, architect for the Bank of England, who designed the striking staircase in the entrance hall.
Albury Park has also served as a location in several television shows and films - including Four Weddings and a Funeral and hit UK series Midsomer Murders.
And the stately home was the venue of King George III's coronation banquet in 1761. He was just 22 when he was crowned and went on to reign for over 59 years - the longest of any male monarch. George III was known as the Mad King due to his mental illness which was suggested to be bipolar disorder or the blood disease porphyria.
The ground floor apartment, which has stunning views of the Surrey Hills, is on the market with House Partnership.
'The principal ground floor apartment, within the magnificent Albury Park Mansion, enjoys a stunning parkland setting in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, yet benefiting from excellent commuter links,' the property listing states.
In more recent history, Algernon Percy, 6th Duke of Northumberland, became the new owner of Albury Park and ownership of much of the estate has been retained by The Northumberlands.
The property listing also states: 'Set in over five acres of landscaped gardens within the Duke of Northumberland's 150 acre parkland, Albury Park Mansions is a Grade II*-listed stately home with a long and distinguished history'.
St Peter and St Paul's church (pictured) on the estate was the scene of the third wedding in Four Weddings And A Funeral.
