Historic Hollywood mansion once owned by The Beatles is on the market for £12M

Ever dreamt of living like a pop icon? Now's your chance with this ultra-luxurious castle. This fairytale-like mansion has had some notable owners over the years, including The Beatles, Marlon Brando and Debbie Reynolds.

Modelled after a Norman Castle, a style that gained popularity post-First World War, it features turrets, coffered ceilings and original windows from the roaring twenties.

This stunning abode boasts eight bathrooms and six bedrooms, all set on an impressive four acres of land. And the cherry on top? Unrivalled views of the iconic Hollywood sign.

Inside, the property has been revamped to include contemporary interiors and furnishings, with splashes of colour in every room.

With unique ceilings, detailed designs and sweeping views of the Los Angeles landscape from every angle, there's always something to admire, according to Luxury Property News.

Outdoors, there's a pool house hovering above a reservoir, providing the perfect spot to relax on a hot summer day. For those who love to entertain, there's also an al-fresco dining option.

To ensure privacy, access to the estate is through a gate, with a garage spacious enough for two cars. Rumour has it, there's even a hidden staircase leading to a former speakeasy.

Built in 1927 for Milton Wolf, an activist associated with the Tea Party movement, the property is most commonly known as "Wolf's Lair."

The home's Norman Revival style draws inspiration from French architecture, captivating soldiers returning from France who were "fascinated" by it.

It is rumoured that the property most recently served as a "creative retreat" for the renowned music producer Moby, where he produced his chart-topping hits.

Boasting its own hiking trails and situated just a stone's throw from the Griffith Park Observatory, the residence offers a plethora of activities to explore.

Presently on the market with Billy Rose at The Agency for $15 million (£11.7 million), this distinctive home comes with a rich history of its own.
