Balcony home for sale stone's throw away from Beatles attractions

A new house has come on the market in Liverpool, that’s just a stone’s throw away from some Beatles attractions.

The detached four bedroom house, on Calderstones Avenue, Allerton, is within walking distance of well-known landmarks connected to the Fab Four. It’s close to the famous Penny Lane, Strawberry Field and John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s childhood homes on Forthlin Road and Menlove Avenue.

Nicknamed the Mendips, John Lennon's childhood home is Grade II listed and preserved by the National Trust. While Paul McCartney’s home, labelled as the “birthplace of the Beatles ” is also a National Trust property, in Allerton. As well as the nearby tourist attractions, the home is also close to Allerton Road, Calderstones Park and Allerton Manor Golf Course.
