Peter Jones, the youngest of the Dragons on the popular Dragon’s Den, is saying ‘I’m out’ and selling his £3.25 million mansion. The six-bedroom family home is situated in Beaconsfield in what is known as the ‘golden triangle’ due to all of the luxurious homes in the area.
Built in 2002, Mountbatten House comes complete with deluxe interiors including a ‘Belgravia’ hand painted kitchen, fully programmable mood lighting system in each room and a triple garage to house Peter’s fleet of cars. And because it’s a multi-millionaire’s pad, there has to be something a little bit special… an enormous ‘bathing chamber’ in the master bedroom – a totally pimped out bathroom to you and me!
The telecoms entrepreneur, known for his straight-talking, is believed to have initially moved to the area to be closer to his business ‘Phones International’ so he could spend more time with his wife and five children.
Forty-four year old Peter has a property portfolio of an estimated £10 million including various investments in Spain and Portugal so while he may be ‘out’ of this Buckinghamshire beauty he’s sure to snap something else up soon.
Here’s what he could afford in the area:
 Chalfont St. Giles – £3,500,000 |
 Coleshill – Guide Price £3,750,000 |
 Gerrards Cross – £4,500,000 |
 Jordans – £3,000,000 |

His new build house sounds like a monument to bad taste
January 28th, 2011 at 12:05 pm
Any local agents reading this article and licking their lips at the prospect of selling to Mr Jones are too late! He has bought a wonderful property – I know, because I inspected it on behalf of another multi-millionaire client who was interested at the time.

After looking at his house I am suprised at how expensive it is. My houses one here and one in the south of France cost less than £100,000 for the pair of them, Yet My bedrooms are bigger, my Garages are bigger I have in Excess of 30 acres, a river a stream a lake, woodland, Gardens fantastic views. I suppose he has to have a lot of money because he gets ripped off a lot. My income is less tha £1000 a year,and my wifes less than £6000. We cope really well.

I’ll tell you what, move to NB canada and I will sell you a nicer house than this for a quarter of the price!!

People may well have larger properties on bigger plots in other areas, with Beaconsfield you are talking about LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. To purchase one of the grander properties situated on one of the larger plots an extra 2 or 3 million would be required.
Mr Jones’s new property is again local and situated in many acres of wooded land and when completed will easily be worth many times the value of this one.
A shrewd investment by the shrewdest of Dragons !
January 28th, 2011 at 10:49 pm
The house looks a bit clinical and slightly staged, hardly a picture on the wall or a personal item in sight. Anyway who cares, Gareth Ashington from Ashington Page is THE man to sell it!! The Dragon has chosen his agent wisely and I do hope Gareth gets his commission in cash on a tray, jus’ like ont’ telly!

Robin, your houses are 100k and you and your wife earn 7k? You are on the fiddle! And I don’t suppose your places even compare to peters , but make yourself feel better if you like. Im not Einstein, but I know who’s wealth I would rather have, and it’s not some wreck in Calais!
January 29th, 2011 at 10:25 am
Yes. Cos you bought them in the year 1650!
January 29th, 2011 at 10:57 am
Frankly I would rather have Peter Jones house that he is now selling than any of the four shown above.
Best of luck to him in Kent I am much happier on the south coast thanks.

I personally would love to have a chance to be the one “Who lives in a house like this”. Love the entrance hall, kitchen, bathroom but wonder how the white carpeting in the bedroom is kept spotless?
Preferably pastilles in some areas for warmth.
Help with cleaning would, of course, be required on top of the asking price. Using a popular phrase “no chance” of me owning that one. To me that is merely a “Dream” property.
Is Peter related to anyone originally from Cheshire?
January 29th, 2011 at 9:31 pm
How right Bill Johnson is ‘a monument to bad taste’ Something we have come to expect from the nueveau riche. Show a little more philanthropy.
January 29th, 2011 at 10:29 pm
@Robin Banks Are you for real? How can you leave on £7000 a year?You are probably on some sort of benefit, so that is the only way you cope really well. As for your houses you probably bought them 20-30 years ago…..You should be living in this century, as to me sounds like you still live in the 80s.
January 29th, 2011 at 11:07 pm
£50.000 each cnt be that big £1000 an £6000 = seven grand a year u must be a clever person and have a great job
January 30th, 2011 at 12:03 am
Obviously, money cannot buy style or taste. What a hidious waste of a property. On the other hand he’s probably realised this and that’s why he’s moved.
January 30th, 2011 at 9:27 am
Did he ever live there? Looks like a brand new showhouse, of questionable taste indeed.
January 30th, 2011 at 10:20 am
mmmmmm robin banks, bit dubious, whats the secret then???
January 30th, 2011 at 5:16 pm
HI PETER We have a lovely house on the Wirral
P Perhaps if you want to size down,[as we do,cos we aRE COUPLE OF VERY YOUNG LOOKING OAPS TEE HEE ]THE HOUSE HAS CHARACTER,LOTS OF POTENTIAL,THE wIRRAL IS GREAT,NEAR EVERYTHING,.

I would live to see and hear more about Robin Banks’s properties here and in the South of France that are both under £100k and they are bigger than a multi millonaires mansion. Robin your houses are priceless just like you comment
January 30th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
Stop being so gelous. The house is loverly cjcobb cobbs development
January 30th, 2011 at 10:13 pm
I can beat the lot of you! The Isle of Arran, Scotland in Minature. You can have whatever design of house you prefer and a choice of views of either open countryside, sea views, mountain views or all of those. We have people who are famous we have people who are wealthy, we have those who serve you and those who take care of you. Here, you are a person regardless of who you are, what you do for a living and how much money you have or how grand your home is. Here, people care, help one another and have a life! However, if Mr Jones would like to have a holiday home here, he would fit in nicely. [I may have just the property]!
January 31st, 2011 at 11:43 am
I agree with Bill, it’s horrible…. Either build something with its own architectural style/ identity or don’t bother as it’ll always look like a pastiche! This is the worst type of “bling” without any flair…
January 31st, 2011 at 11:58 am
jealouse P*****, his house is wicked!!!
such stupid comments!!!
From people that wish they had the chance!!!
January 31st, 2011 at 2:17 pm
LOL Robin, he doesnt get ripped off cause he has loadsa money, it depend on what area you live in. The same houses if they where I live would be around a million pounds, so a quater of the price pretty much.
A 3-bed crap hole where i live is more expensive that your beautiful sounding home. So just depends on area.
January 31st, 2011 at 7:18 pm
Hoping to meet up with Peter Jones soon… What a great place to set up a meeting! I’ll just check the bank account and naivety of my bank manager to loan me some funds!
February 1st, 2011 at 1:34 pm
I think these properties are beautiful, my favourite is Coleshill – Guide Price £3,750,000, if I had that kind of money I would snap it up, but I have no chance of getting anything near that in my life time.
Wishing is all I can do I am afraid, but the lucky millionaire to get this will be envied. xx
Good luck with the sale. i hope someone who cares about the beauty attached to the house and the house’s “cottage like” look gets it and appreciates it.
February 1st, 2011 at 6:58 pm
what a repulsive chav-pit
February 2nd, 2011 at 1:50 pm
He needs to complete before April the 5th otherwise the stamp duty will be an extra £36,000
(please correct me if I’m wrong)
will it be £175,000 in stamp duty??
Expensive business moving..
February 14th, 2011 at 11:03 am
I have a house worth selling for £7000, I am looking for a 2/bed house/flat ground floor with garden in bridlington. how could i buy his house his garage is worth more SHAME.
February 17th, 2011 at 6:27 pm
that’s amazing… never seen anything so gorgeously furnished and beautiful… wow…
February 18th, 2011 at 11:33 am
Wow, this gets popular fast!
February 18th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
in a word chavvy – where the shell suits and the big gold necklaces looks like a failed pornstars pad!
February 23rd, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Is anyone else thinking…
If i had so much money i would have such a cooler house? =P
March 4th, 2011 at 3:41 pm
Money can’t buy taste… It’s bland, characterless and looks like a show home. Not my kind of thing.
Now the one the jockey is selling is something else altogether.
July 11th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
is he rich?
February 15th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
whaaaaaaaat? wot a laff!!!!!
