Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle.

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.
