During a visit to Mulberry Lodge, in Harrold, Bedfordshire, McCartney entertained the Mitchell family in the bay-windowed dining room by playing the song – left-handed, naturally.

At the time, ‘Hey Jude’ had yet to be recorded.

It would go on to become one of The Beatles’ biggest hits and one of the most celebrated songs in pop history.

The house itself has plenty of character, too, as reported by Luxury Property News.

The Grade II-listed thatched property is believed to have started life as a late-17th-century tithe barn serving the nearby ancient parish church.

Set within walled gardens covering almost half an acre, it boasts five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate sitting room and dining room, and a kitchen/breakfast room.

Its collection of outbuildings includes a washhouse, two coal sheds, a tool shed, an outdoor privy and an underground air-raid shelter.

There are also brick and slate garages and barns, with plans to convert them into an annexe.

McCartney and his entourage, which included a large English sheepdog, reportedly continued their evening at a local pub after dinner, staying until the small hours.

The group had visited another pub in the opposite direction before arriving at the house – now a restaurant.

Mulberry Lodge is in the heart of Harrold, a riverside village described in national newspapers as part of ‘Bedfordshire’s Cotswolds’.

The village has two pubs, schools, a village hall with floodlit sports courts, a cricket ground and a country park with lakes, riverside walks and a café.

The property is being marketed by Artistry Property Agents for £925,000 and is offered with no onward chain.
