Omega Auctions, the auction house organizing the sale, described it as "a unique opportunity to own the property of George Harrison, a significant place where the legendary artist spent his youth, along with his friends, forming and developing the band The Beatles."
The house is expected to sell for between £160,000 and £200,000 ($216,000 - $270,000) in an online auction on November 30.

George Harrison was the youngest of four children. He moved with his family to 25 Upton Green in the Speke suburb of Liverpool, England, in 1950 when he was six years old and lived there until 1962. During this time, the house became a regular rehearsal space for The Quarrymen, later widely known as "The Beatles," featuring George Harrison, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr.
After The Beatles disbanded in 1970, Harrison continued his artistic career as a solo artist, topping the UK singles charts with his hit "My Sweet Lord" in 1971. Harrison died of cancer in 2001 at the age of 58.
George Harrison was a famous artist and the lead guitarist of the band The Beatles.
Although the house has undergone several renovations and refurbishments, some of its original features from the years the Harrison family lived there have been preserved, including three bedrooms, a kitchen, bathrooms, sinks, and other outbuildings.
Harrison's childhood home was previously sold for £156,000 (approximately $244,000) at an auction at Liverpool's famous Cavern Club in 2014. Not only the house, but his iconic guitar was also auctioned at Julien's MusicIcons auction in 2015.
