John Lennon's first home, in Liverpool, has been sold
for £480,000 at an auction held at the Cavern Club.
The red brick
terrace at 9 Newcastle Road, Wavertree, was where the Beatle lived from birth,
in 1940, until he was five.
Auctioneers said
a telephone bidder, who wanted to remain anonymous, was the successful buyer
after a "bidding war".
The
three-bedroom house had been given a guide price of between £150,000 and £250,000.
The property
has a rear yard and is a few streets away from Penny Lane, made famous by The
Beatles.
Andrew Brown,
from Countrywide Property Auctions, said: "There was a lot of interest in
the property before the auction from potential buyers who lived in the UK and
internationally."
