- George lived at the three-bed Speke, Liverpool council house for 12 years
- Was living there when he first met Paul and John
- Their band The Quarrymen, which became The Beatles, practised there
- Guide price is £80,000 less than average house price in England and Wales
George
moved into 25 Upton Green in Speke, Liverpool, when he was six, and
lived in the three-bedroom council house for the next 12 years.
The childhood home of George in Liverpool is going to auction with a guide price of just £100,000
The house's guide price is £80,000 less than the average house price in England and Wales
But
it wasn't long before they had outgrown the small, terraced house. They
went on to form The Beatles, becoming the best known and most
successful musicians in the world.
The
family home, which also has a back garden, has a guide price £80,000
less than the average price of a home in England and Wales.
But Beatlemania could cause the price to skyrocket, as fans of the band look to get their hands on the home.
Last year, John Lennon's first home, 9 Newcastle Road, was sold for £480,000, despite having a guide price of just £150,000.
The
house was sold by Countrywide Property Auctions, who will also sell the
George house at the Cavern Club in Liverpool on October 20.
The auction house described the sale of a piece of 'Liverpool's musical heritage' as a 'momentous occasion'.It
said:'Countrywide Property Auctions are delighted and honoured to once
again be invited to offer at auction, another piece of Beatles
history.'
George's childhood home is not the only Beatles property for sale at the moment - but it is the most affordable.
The three-bedroom, mid-terrace house has recently been refurbished, so is in good condition
