John Lennon's childhood home up for auction
The childhood home formerly belonging to John Lennon is set to be auctioned off later this month, expected to reach between £150,000 and £250,000.
The late Beatle resided at the property, situated on 9 Newcastle Road in Wavertree, Liverpool , until he was five years old. The current owner has issued the following statement on the sale:
“I have made sure original features have been preserved so that they reflect the 1960s period, when the Beatles wowed the whole world with their rock and roll music. The main structure of the house and features, such as the original Victorian sliding sash windows, are as they were when John Lennon lived here with his parents and his grandparents from 1940 onwards.”
This follows a strange trend for rockstar property memorabilia in recent weeks, with both Kurt Cobain’s and Eminem’s former houses also going up for sale.
