Inside Princess Margaret's former home

Royal fanatics can now purchase a piece of history, as the North Wales holiday home Princess Margaret used to share with former husband Lord Snowdon has gone up for sale.

The mansion – now known as Plas Dinas – was once part of the Snowdon family estate and was where the couple spent most weekends during their 18-year marriage.

Now, it could be yours for a surprising $683,000.

After the couple declared their divorce back in 1978, the regal home has since been turned into a nursing home before eventually becoming a hotel in the late 1990s.

The 15-acre pastel-hued residence dates back to the 17th century and boasts a grand total of ten en-suite bedrooms fit for a Queen.

Adding to its charm, a grand piano sits in the living room with chandeliers hanging throughout the regal property.

Nestled in woodland, the home also features a courtyard garden and a separate two-bedroom detached lodge in its impressive grounds.

Interestingly, the property is also still home to several family portraits and original furniture which once belonged to the Armstrong-Jones family.

But there’s a catch.

The $638,000 fee will only grant the new home owner a 23-year lease on the property and they will have to foot a $63,000 bill per annum – a figure sure to test how much you really love the Windsor clan.
