A mansion where rockstar Mick Jagger once stayed with his former lover is up for sale in Galway.
The house, which once played host to the Rolling Stones frontman and his former flame Marianne Faithfull, is on the market at €2 million – and the owner has admitted that she’d be delighted if the rockstar chose to purchase it himself.
Mick’s partner Marianne was pregnant at the time they stayed at Bermingham House, near Tuam, Co. Galway – which is owned by Oonagh Mary Hyland.
Love nest: The mansion was once Mick Jagger’s Irish hideaway
Oonagh became friendly with the a-list pair when she was a teenager, when her mother Lady Molly Cusack-Smith owned the house back in 1968.
On October 12, 1968, local paper the Tuam Herald reported a media frenzy in the town as it was revealed in the news that Marianne was expecting Mick’s baby.
Sadly, the pair later split after she suffered a miscarriage.
Speaking to the Irish Mirror, Oonagh said, “I became very friendly with Marianne who spent a lot of time in her room. I would be in there chatting with her as I liked her a lot.
Lavish: The mansion boasts an impressive art collection
“One occasion when we drove into Tuam we were surrounded by her fans and well-wishers after parking the car at The Square. Some of Mick Jagger’s pals also came to visit while he was staying here and they would take out the horses and go riding.
“But while I had been following his career I was probably not old enough at the time to be infatuated by the Rolling Stones.
“I suppose it was no big deal to have Mick and Marianne staying in our house as my mother often had famous people staying with us, or else visiting for the annual hunt ball and for dinner parties,” she added.
