The Beatles: John Lennon's Liverpool home sells for £280k
The home of John Lennon 's mother, which was dubbed The House of Sin, has fetched nearly £280,000 at auction.
Omega Auctions said the three-bedroom house on Blomfield Road in Liverpool sold for £279,500.
A spokesman for the Auction House said it was purchased by a UK buyer who " bought it for their daughter who is a big Beatles fan".
Lennon and Sir Paul Mccartney rehearsed at The House in their first band The Quarrymen .
Lennon's beloved mother Julia lived in the home with her husband John " Bobby" Dykins from 1950 until her death in 1958, with The Singer 's sisters Julia Baird and Jacqueline Dykins .
In her book Imagine This, Ms Baird wrote of their mother: " I shall never forget the hilarious bathroom Jam Sessions she shared with the budding Beatles.
" The Bathroom in our little house in Blomfield Road was probably one of the smallest in Britain.
" To see John, Paul, George, Pete Shotton , Ivan Vaughan , My Mother and probably a couple of hangers-on scrambling around inside, trying to find a place to sit, was like a comedy act. "
Lennon was a frequent visitor to The House in Allerton while living about a mile-and-a-half-away with his Aunt Mimi in Menlove Avenue, who dubbed the property The House of Sin.
Auctioneer Paul Fairweather previously said the property was of " huge historical importance".
