Bids start at £40,000 for the two-bedroom property in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, where the star – one half of the legendary Hollywood comedy duo Laurel and Hardy – lived with his parents.
The empty house, home to Laurel and his actor parents when he was a baby, is up for sale through Keith Pattinson estate agents.
Although Laurel was born in Cumbria, he spent much of his childhood in Bishop Auckland and was educated at the town’s King James Grammar School.
Above the front door of the mid-terraced house a blue commemorative plaque reads: “Stan Laurel (Arthur Stanley Jefferson) of Laurel and Hardy lived in this house with his parents. He was baptised in St Peter’s Church on 21st October 1891.”
