Princess Margaret’s Historic Home Is Going to Auction - Overlooks the French Riviera

Plas Dinas, a historic mansion once owned by Princes Margaret, is on sale for £375,000. The luxurious home sits on 15 acres of land and has ten ensuite rooms and an extra detached two-bedroom lounge.

For £375,000 initial deposit, you could be the new owner of the famous Princes Margaret country home turned hotel. The home was constructed in the 1970s and maintains most photo portraits, furniture and other Armstrong-Jones family memorabilia. However, the house has undergone multiple renovations to equip it with modern facilities, furnishings and décor.

Princess Margaret was the daughter of King George VI and was married to Antony Armstrong-Jones. The couple was blessed with two children in their 18-year-old marriage (1960 to 1978) and would spend most weekends on the mansion on sale. After the couple left the mansion in 1978, it was leased as a nursing home in the 1980s and as a hotel in the 1990s.

The house will be sold with all its furnishings, so the new owner will enjoy the historical artifacts, comfy sofas, beds, rugs and many more antique items in it. In addition to the initial payment, the new occupant will be expected to pay a rent of £35,206 per year.
