Inside Middleton’s Childhood Home (Photo)

Kate Middleton‘s childhood home is up for auction.

The asking price: $888,000 (that’s 550,000 pounds). But what does a prospective buyer get for that hefty price tag?

This morning on the Today show, NBC’s Michelle Kosinski toured the property with estate agent Dudley Singleton, who revealed a modest home fit for any future princess.

The semi-deattached, four-bedroom Victorian, named West View, resides in the Berkshire village of Bradfield Southend.

Complete with a very British red front door, the house includes a small sitting room with fireplace, expanded kitchen and cozy sleeping quarters, including the future Queen’s teenage bedroom (no Prince William posters in sight).

At the top of the stairs sits baby Kate’s nursery, which now belongs to another potential princess. Asked if her room contained any magical, fairy tale-like powers, the young girl placed a tiara on her head and replied, “Probably, yeah. All my friends really like me now.”

Kate lived at West View until she was 13. In 1995, her parents, Michael and Carole, sold the lot for about $257,000. But the royal in-laws remain in the neighborhood, and their former home’s backyard garden still boasts the shed where they started their successful party business.

The property is set to hit the auction block in June, but reportedly there haven’t been any bites so far — only inquires from journalists.
