The three-bedroom, mid-terrace former council house fetched £50,000 over the guide price, and was snapped up by an anonymous bidder in the UK despite international interest in the sale at the city's Cavern Club.
The former Beatle was four years old when his parents, Jim and Mary, moved into 72 Western Avenue in Speke in south Liverpool in 1947.

The family lived at the address for six years before moving to the Allerton area of the city.

"We are delighted to have sold such an iconic piece of The Beatles and Liverpool's history."
