Sir Paul McCartney‘s childhood home in Liverpool is being sold at auction later.
The three up, two down terrace is expected to attract bids from around the world as Beatles fans try to snap up a piece of history.
A young Paul was just four years old when he moved into the house on Western Avenue in Speke. He lived there along with his parents Jim and Mary and younger brother until the mid 1950s.
The family were well known in the area because Mary McCartney was a local midwife.
The house has changed hands many times since but still attracts fans of the Fab Four, who are keen to take photos outside Beatles landmarks.
It would seem whoever buys it could also expect a visit from none other than Sir Paul himself.
Donna Lewis, from Entwistle Green Estate Agents, told Sky News: “He has been known a couple of times to actually knock on the door when he has been in the area.
“One particular occasion the current vendors told us they were sitting having their Sunday roast one afternoon and Paul actually knocked with his daughter Stella.
“Obviously the vendors welcomed them in, they couldn’t believe who’d actually knocked on their door.
“So whoever does come to buy the property let it be known that they might get Paul McCartney turning up for afternoon tea.”
The auction is taking place at 7pm at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, where the Beatles made 292 appearances.
The guide price is £100,000 but it is expected it could be worth much more than that to bidders keen to battle it out for the chance to own the former home of one of their idols.
