But at £2.65million, any die-hard metal fans hoping to scoop up the ultimate piece of celebrity memorabilia may have to think again.
The 109-year-old Edwardian home, called Netherwood, also features a bespoke sound system, state-of-the-art security, and stained glass windows.

Iommi said he was thinking of downsizing in 2012 during a well-publicised battle with lymphoma, a type of blood cancer.
The house, in Lapworth, Warwickshire, originally went on sale in September last year, priced at £3million, but after several months on the market Iommi has been forced to slash the asking price by £350,000 in the hopes of a quick sale.
The house has original features such as open fireplaces and stained glass windows, but also features some new rock star additions such as a recording studio and a baby piano.
The house was built in 1905 and includes several period features such as stained glass windows

Iommi made his name with legendary rock band Black Sabbath in 1968 alongside Ozzy Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward.
The group - who are cited as pioneers of heavy metal - helped shape the genre with hits such as Black Sabbath, Paranoid and Master of Reality.
MTV hailed the group, who have sold over 70 million records worldwide, as the "Greatest Metal Band" and they were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Rock Hall of Fame in 2006.
Black Sabbath are credited with pioneering heavy metal music and had hits including Paranoid and Iron Man
The band released a new album, 13, last year - though Iommi has since said there is no plan for a follow-up

Last year they released their latest album 13, which was critically acclaimed and topped charts around the world, while Iommi was awarded an honorary degree from Coventry University.
Iommi, who was diagnosed with cancer in January 2012, thanked his fans for their support on his official website and stated he expects to finish his treatment this year.
He wrote: 'We've some good things lined up for the coming year, firstly the Grammys, then some dates in the US and Canada, and in the summer a quick trip round Europe.
Iommi originally put the house up for sale last
September with an asking price of £3million, but has since slashed
£350,000 from the asking price in order to secure a quick sale
Estate agents John Shepard, who are handling the sale, say there is space for a plasma TV in almost every room

'I should also be finishing my regular treatment and I'm hoping to not get so tired, all positive.'
While fans have been eagerly awaiting a follow-up to 13, Iommi has recently said band members are all too busy to think seriously about recording another album.
Butler has also voiced his concerns, adding that any new material might not get the same acclaim as 13, which was the group's first chart-topper for 43 years.
With a dining table next to the kitchen, and this full sized dining room, the home would be perfect for families
