Inside £4.3million London mansion that has not been touched since the 1960s

A £4.3 million house left untouched since the 1960s has gone on sale near the heart of London.

Just metres from where The Beatles recorded their iconic music at Abbey Road Studios the five-bedroom property has been put on the market for the first time.

Having been owned by the same family for decades, the house on Blenheim Road boasts two bathrooms, two reception rooms and even a large garden.

Advertised on property website Zoopla it is described as a "wonderful home, which has retained an abundance of period features".

It's also well located with easy access to tube stations and is a short walk away from Regent's Park.

Cafes, shops and local amenities around St John's Wood High Street are also located nearby.

At a size of 313 square metres over three floors the home benefits from a utility room, office space, two guest toilets, a conservatory, dining room, cellar space and a roof terrace.

My London reports that Tom Parker, Consumer Spokesperson at Zoopla said: “Step back in time in this stunning property in St John’s Wood, which boasts many period features and a delightful, mature garden.

"While new owners might want to undertake some modernisation, the delightful decor gives the property a charming feel and it is full of character.”

Buyers might need deep pockets, however, with the hefty price tag.

An online mortgage calculator says that a 10 per cent deposit for the home (if you can get one) would set you back a whopping £435,000.

Mortgage repayments aren't exactly cheap, either, and if it were to be paid back over a 25-year period at two per cent interest, this would work out at£16,593 per month for the home.

House prices fell by 0.3 per cent in January, despite a last-minute rush to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday.
