Imagine owning John Lennon's first home
This iconic three-bedroom terraced house will undoubtedly be a sought after property for anyone wishing to own such a significant part of John Lennon's history.
Most significantly this is the home where, from his very first days, John Lennon lived and where his mother Julia brought up her first-born baby boy. Her musical and artistic talents, her quirky personality, her quick wit and her attitude to authority together with her off-beat approach to life provided the earliest influences that helped to shape the musical legend whose genius is still recognized throughout the world.
Born on the 9th October 1940, John Lennon started his life in this suburban red brick terraced house living with his mother, grandparents and his sea-going father.
Numerous events throughout John Lennon's life were connected with the number 9. John Lennon has been quoted as saying: "I lived in 9 Newcastle Road. I was born on the 9 of October. It's just a number that follows me around … "
Newcastle Road is located in the famous Penny Lane area of Liverpool, which created the inspiration for many of John Lennon's most evocative songs. The most obvious connection is the eponymous song "Penny Lane". Many of the landmarks mentioned in the song are just a few minute's walk from his childhood home. Visitors still flock to visit these sites and other local landmarks world-famous for their John Lennon and Beatles connections.
9 Newcastle Road is a friendly south-facing bay-fronted traditional terraced house. On the ground floor, a bright vestibule then hallway lead to the south-facing front family room, rear sitting room then to the generous eat-in kitchen-diner. Stairs lead up to the landing, off which there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The walled back-yard is accessed from the kitchen or via a gated alleyway.
