The Kensington house that inspired its owner, the author JM Barrie (1860-1937), to write Peter Pan is for sale.
The six-bedroom property, built in 1890, comes with a top-floor balcony window from where Barrie had Peter and Wendy view the London skyline before flying off to Neverland.
The house is packed with colour and personality — the living room has mint green walls while the bathroom is rose pink — and there is a real sense of grandeur in the interiors.
There are also pretty front and back gardens and views of the communal gardens in Hereford Square, SW7.
Pastor Real Estate has the home on its books for £8.5 million.
