The former Beatle lived at Kenwood mansion in the St George's Hill area of Weybridge between 1964 and 1968 and is believed to written a portion of 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' there.

The listing is described as a "luxuriously finished family home, formerly owned by John Lennon, set in about 1.5 acres of exquisite gardens".

The description adds: "An original 1920's Tarrant house, Kenwood is situated at the heart of the exclusive St George's Hill Estate, acknowledged as one of the UK's premier private residential addresses.

"The house occupies a superb plateau position set around St George's Hill's renowned golf course, tennis club and leisure amenities. Kenwood overlooks magnificent landscaped gardens and grounds and enjoys uninterrupted views of the Surrey Hills."

Lennon bought the property for £20,000 in July 1964 and lived there with his then wife Cynthia until he moved to New York with Yoko Ono in 1969.
