Stunning four-storey home in exclusive London celebrity bolthole goes on the market - but you'll have to fork out a staggering sum for it
A stunning four-storey home in an exclusive London celebrity hotspot has hit the market for a staggering £17million.
The luxury property in affluent St John's Wood, north London comes with the added bonus of neighbouring Sir Paul McCartney's London home.
Back in 1965 at the height of Beatlemania, the music legend bought a three-storey town house in the area for £40,000 which remains his base in the capital.
The newly on sale property on Cavendish Avenue, where houses are rarely up for sale, is a Grade II listed building and is close to the world famous Abbey Road Studios and the zebra crossing made famous on The Beatles' Abbey Road album cover.
The 5,230 sq ft house is on the market with Arlington Residential and boasts seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a south west facing garden with a pool.
There is also a library, conservatory, gym and staff bedroom, plus space to park seven cars.
The villa dates back to 1845 and is also set behind a large gated driveway.
Marc Schneiderman, Director at Arlington Residential said homes on the street rarely come on the market.

He added: 'Cavendish Avenue is widely regarded as the finest residential road in St John's Wood and this substantial property is one of only nine detached villas on the west side of the street.
'These houses rarely become available for sale as they tend to be generational homes. It was over three years ago when one of these very special villas sold achieving £17m in almost derelict condition.
'This property was built in circa 1845 and is set back behind a large, gated driveway. The house enjoys lots of natural light from its tall windows and east/west aspect.
'Inside, there is extensive period detailing throughout including ornate cornicing in the drawing room and a particularly elegant and wide staircase with wrought iron balustrading.
'The south west facing garden backs onto neighbouring gardens on three sides and features an attractive outdoor pool. There is ample private parking for up to seven vehicles.'
