Inside the £15 million Marylebone mansion that inspired 'My Fair Lady'

The house that served as the inspiration for George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion"— which went on to become the musical "My Fair Lady"— is on the market for £14.95 million ($21.8 million).

Located on Upper Wimpole Street in London's Marylebone, the Grade II-listed six storey late-Georgian townhouse has 10 bedrooms and four reception rooms according to estate agent Rokstone.

"My Fair Lady" became a huge Broadway hit in 1956, then a film in 1964 starring Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle and Rex Harrison as Professor Henry Higgins.

It tells the tale of an affluent professor who makes a bet with a friend that he can pass off a cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, for a duchess by teaching her upper class gentility.

Here is the house from the outside, in Marylebone's Upper Wimpole Street. It was originally owned by Professor Horace Hayman Wilson who served as the inspiration for the story's character Henry Higgins — who was played by Rex Harrison in "My Fair Lady."

The hall retains its original features like a stained glass fanlight screen ceiling mouldings and marble flooring. This picture gives an idea of how far back the house extends.

Professor Wilson, the original owner, was a researcher of languages and culture in the Middle East and South East Asia and became prominent at Oxford University. His grand lifestyle and eccentric personality supposedly inspired Shaw's lead character.
