Prince and Princess Michael of Kent have put their 36-acre country estate in Gloucestershire up for sale. Nether Lypiatt, an early 18th century Grade I listed manor house in the Cotswolds, has an asking price of more than �6m.
Three barns, garaging and stabling for nine horses, plus gardens, grounds and paddocks are included in the sale.
A spokesman for Savills said: "The Cotswolds remain the most popular destination for country house buyers."
"Nether Lypiatt is one of the jewels in its crown," he added.
Kensington Palace
The house has eight bedrooms and four staff apartments.
The royal couple are now expected to live full-time at their five-bedroom, five-reception room Kensington Palace apartments.
The �10,000-a-month rent there has been paid by the Queen, Prince Michael's cousin, from her own private funds, since December 2002.
This followed demands by MPs on the Commons Public Accounts Committee that a commercial rent should be paid for the property.
Buckingham Palace said at the time the rent was being paid by the Queen in recognition of the prince and princess's unpaid work in support of the monarchy and various charities.
