Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe's childhood home in fashionable west London is up for sale for £1.45million.

Radcliffe is believed to have lived in the four-bedroom house until the age of 12, a year after the first Harry Potter film was released.

The child-star is reported to have been in the bath of the property when he heard the news that he had won the role.

Radcliffe and his parents moved out of the terraced house in Sherbrooke Road, Fulham, West London, as the young actor's career took off.

Magic: Daniel Radcliffe's childhood home in Fulham is up for sale with a whopping £1.45 million price tag. Pictured is one of the small bedrooms of the west London property

Making a star: Radcliffe, who currently resides in New York, is believed to have lived in the house until the age of 12, a year after the first Harry Potter film was released

Huge news: The child star is reported to have been in Sherbrooke Road property when he heard the news that he had won the role

Location: The four-bedroom house is in Fulham, a desirable area in west London, but looks quite small from the outside (pictured)

Potter: The Fulham house is a far cry from the cupboard under the stairs (right) that Radcliffe slept in as Harry Potter (left) before going to Hogwarts in first movie

Since then the house, that overlooks a cemetery, has undergone refurbishment to turn it into a luxury modern home.

The white-washed terrace has two bathrooms, a double reception room with an exposed brickwork feature wall, converted loft and a kitchen with a dining room that opens out onto a private garden.

James Turner, of estate agents Chestertons, said: 'This is Daniel Radcliffe's childhood home it has only just come on the market so there has not been too much interest yet.

'We have had a handful of viewings though and we are hoping that interest will increase dramatically when the word gets out.

'We don't advertise the house based on who used to live here but we do tell people when we take them round and they tend to raise a smile.

'Although there was one person who turned round and said, 'who is Daniel Radcliffe?''

Surprise: Inside, there is a lot of space, and it has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a reception room (pictured) and a garden outside

Spacious: The building has a double-reception room at the front which leads on to a large kitchen and dining area at the back

Family space: The open-plan kitchen and dining room is 17ft by 16ft and leads on to a small patio outside (pictured, centre)

Modern: The kitchen has been renovated since Radcliffe - who moved out just before he was famous - lived here 14 years ago

Mr Turner thinks that even without interest from Harry Potter fanatics the house will have no problem selling.

He said: 'Prices on the whole are doing well in this part of London.

'This end of Sherbrooke Road wasn't always as desirable and in demand as once it was, but now it is very much sought-after, as is most of the SW6 postcode that last year was voted the 'happiest' in London.

As well as homing a future Hollywood star another unique aspect of the house is the graveyard it backs on to.

Mr Turner said: 'Some regard living next to a cemetery as a plus, after all its just another green open space.

'But we do get some people who are looking for a new home who would be a bit spooked by overlooking a cemetery – some say it would give them the heebie-jeebies.'

Work of art: The area has a wooden floor and a bare brick wall on one side, in a state of the art house which has undergone refurbishment to turn it into a luxury modern home

Undiscovered: James Turner, of estate agents Chestertons, said: 'This is Daniel Radcliffe's childhood home it has only just come on the market so there has not been too much interest yet.

Happy home: The estate agent added that the Sherbrooke Road area is very much sought-after, as is most of the SW6 postcode that last year was voted the happiest in London

Rising demand: 'We have had a handful of viewings though and we are hoping that interest will increase dramatically when the word gets out,' said the estate agent from Chestertons
