A luxury flat that may appeal to fans of The Beatles has come onto the market in London's Mayfair. The London estate agent Wetherell has listed it for sale on Green Street. The asking price is £4.5m.
The Beatles upstairs
According to the Polish daily Rzeczpospolita, directly above the flat on offer is the apartment where John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr lived for several months in 1963. It was the only period in the band's history when all four lived under one roof.
The top-floor flat in the Victorian building was rented for the musicians by their manager Brian Epstein, known as the "fifth Beatle". The aim was to give them more privacy as the band's popularity grew. Their second single, "She Loves You", went to number one in the UK at the time, and the number of fans was rising fast.
John Lennon shared one room with his wife Cynthia and their young son Julian. The other band members occupied the remaining rooms. At the end of 1963 the Lennons moved out, and McCartney was the second to leave. Harrison and Starr stayed longest, until the beginning of 1964.
What the flat offers
The property measures about 120.5 sq m and is on the second floor of a building put up in the 1890s to a design by the architect Robert William Edis. Edis also designed the Grand Central Hotel at Marylebone station and was responsible for the extension of the royal estate at Sandringham.
The flat has been restored, combining Victorian features such as high ceilings, ornamental plasterwork and wooden parquet floors with contemporary furniture. The building has a lift. The flat has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is also a large open-plan kitchen linked to a dining area and living room. The kitchen has bespoke walnut furniture and Carrara marble.
The main bedroom has a separate dressing room and a marble en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms also have dressing rooms and share a bathroom.
Green Street has another famous link. Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond books, was born at number 27 in 1908.
Mayfair is regarded as one of London's most prestigious districts. Property prices there are high even by the standards of the British capital.
