A DORSET home with links to legendary Beatle John Lennon is up for sale – for a whopping £15 million.
Imagine, named after the songwriter’s seminal hit, was built on the site of former bungalow, called Harbours Edge, which the Beatle bought for his beloved Aunt Mimi in 1965.
The six-bed home sits on a plot in Panorama Road, Sandbanks, and is on the market with Luxury & Prestige, with an asking price of £14,950,000.
Lennon was known to visit his aunt at Sandbanks, often bringing son Julian, and later Yoko Ono, with the family taking trips to the beach using the ferry.
“He would just turn up and there would be a whirlwind when he arrived, it was usually when the pressure got a bit much,” Mimi once told an interviewer.
“He used to like to come here and turn cartwheels on the beach just by himself; there was nobody else there.”

The listing for the property said: “Imagine is an iconic home on the Sandbanks Peninsula in an area renowned as one of the most highly prized and exclusive waterside locations anywhere in the UK.
“The views are simply extraordinary and perfectly framed by the many vantage points within the main dwelling.
“The built form extends to approximately 9,000 square feet and it includes six highly luxurious bedrooms, each with en suite facilities, open plan kitchen living and dining area, indoor swimming pool with bar area, gymnasium, sauna and private cinema.”

Gated grounds include a stand alone pavilion/office and facing the harbour there is “a choice of areas from which to watch the world go by”, the listing adds.
“Access to the water is one of the luxuries of living here so there is a private jetty with a lift for a Jetski or small rib,” it added.
“Finally, Imagine has good green credentials thanks to 13kw rooftop solar panels connected to a pair of 13.5kwh batteries located in the integral garage.”
John and Yoko would have been proud…
