Airbnb says the self-contained pop-up house, with its red-bricked façade and double-glazed windows, will be next door to the famous Rovers Return Inn.

The view from the new B&B, known as ‘The Rovers’ Annexe’, looks out towards Audrey’s and a little further along to Prestons Petals and the kebab shop.

As guests stroll down the street at their leisure, they will pass Fiz and Tyrone’s, take a peek in the Kabin window, or wander up Victoria Street to check out the menu at Speed Daal to see what Alya’s been up to.

Fans will be able to watch "the affair of the 80s" - Deirdre Barlow’s tryst with Mike Baldwin - the disastrous tram crash a decade ago, and last year’s classic moment where David Platt discovers a sinkhole in his back garden.

Head of Continuing Drama John Whiston says: "What fan of Coronation Street hasn't had a dream where you find yourself transported into the show itself, wandering around the houses of your best loved characters. I certainly have.

"This unique stay gives you the chance to do just that, stay the night and wake up right next to The Rovers Return. What better way to celebrate Britain opening up again than your very own staycation on the nation's favourite Street."
