PAUL's CHILDHOOD HOME ON THE MARKET FOR £100k

The terrace house in Liverpool is going under the hammer at the city's world-famous Cavern Club with a guide price of £100,000 plus

This is the Magical Mystery Tour of Paul's childhood home that could persuade a Beatles fan to part with upwards of £100,000.

Wealthy fans of Paul will do battle to win the keys to Macca's former pad when the terrace house goes under the hammer at Liverpool's Cavern Club this month.

Paul lived at the house - 72 Western Avenue, in Speke, Liverpool – for six years until the mid 1950s.

Paul, now 72, was just four years old when his parents Jim and Mary moved into the humble three-bedroom terrace - then a council house.

It is said to be the first house Paul remembers living at and he has spoken fondly of his time there.

The family became well known in the local area during their time at Western Avenue, due to Mary's career as a midwife.

Today, the ground floor of the house features a hallway, lounge, dining room and kitchen, while upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The property has gardens to the front and rear.

The house will be auctioned with a guide price of £100,000 plus at the world famous Cavern Club on February 26 at 7pm.

Stephen Giddins, regional sales director, of estate agent Entwistle Green, said: "We are delighted to be acting on behalf of the current owner of 72 Western Avenue, a property which has such a unique history.

"The Beatles still attract thousands of visitors to Liverpool each year, so to get the opportunity to offer for sale Paul McCartney's childhood home is very exciting.

"Taking into consideration the location, the property itself and the background we expect a lot of interest locally and internationally."

In October 2013, John Lennon's childhood home at 9 Newcastle Road in Wavertree, Liverpool sold at auction for £480,000.

And last October George Harrison's former home 26 Upton Green, in Speke, where he lived from 1949 until the early sixties, sold for £156,000.
