A “rare opportunity” to purchase a property opposite Liverpool’s iconic Strawberry Field Gates is said to be attracting interest from Beatles fans around the world.

The vacant three-bedroom Lower Lee Lodge on Beaconsfield Road offers exclusive views of the landmark gates, which were immortalised in the Fab Four’s classic hit ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’, and is among the lots at the latest Sutton Kersh Auction.

The song, penned by John Lennon, was inspired by his memories of playing in the garden of Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army children’s home near to where he lived.

A guide price of £275,000 plus has been given to the house, which is one of 99 lots set to go under the hammer at the Liverpool Marriott Hotel on 11 September, and auction manageress Cathy Holt says: “This is a rare opportunity to purchase an exceptional property in an iconic location. We have already had numerous enquiries from Beatles’ fans both in Liverpool and from around the world who appreciate its significance.”

The sale, staring at 12pm, also features highlights including an extended vacant three-bedroom semi-detached property on Grange Avenue North in West Derby which is guided at £100,000 plus.
