The property features a number of murals dedicated to Disney films, including beloved movies Aladdin, Snow White, and The Lion King. Characters including Aladdin and the Genie are found on the walls of the open-plan living room and kitchen/diner area, alongside Princess Jasmine, Abu, Rajah, Iago, and the Sultan. As expected, the former owner was a "massive" Disney fan, telling her estate agent she had visited Disneyland more than 20 times in her life. Moving to the bedrooms, one features a theme from The Lion King while another blends a combination of Snow White with the Ministry of Magic from Harry Potter. Echoing the 1937 classic film, a Magic Mirror mural appears above a fireplace, which is a replica of one used from the Harry Potter films. Images of other characters adorn the rest of the room, including those of Maleficent, Ursula, the Evil Queen from Snow White, and Jafar. Adding to the Harry Potter theme, one door even has the iconic sign Platform 9 ¾ on it. The wall along the staircase features another classic film - Mary Poppins - with a silhouette of the traditional London skyline taking up centre stage. Quotes from a number of Disney films also find themselves on each step. Nostalgic childhood store to RETURN in days - just four years after all but two shops closed Heading into the kitchen, cupboards have been decorated with the names of iconic Disney songs, including fan favourites Hakuna Matata from The Lion King and Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid. Joining the smaller bedrooms inspired by The Lion King and Snow White, the main sleeping space is dedicated to a combination of Lilo & Stitch and Wreck-It Ralph. The room features bedding adorned with beloved character Stitch while the walls are painted reminiscent of Sugar Rush - the fictional video game inhabited by one of the main characters in the 2012 animated film. A third bedroom is 1980s themed and packed full of collectables and memorabilia. 9 In the kitchen, each cupboard features the title of a famous Disney song Credit: Elwy Estates / Zoopla 9 The main bedroom has been decorated in a mixture of Lilo & Stitch and Sugar Rush - a fictional world from the 2012 film Wreck-It Ralph Credit: Elwy Estates / Zoopla 9 In the garden, a mural can be found featuring a collection of classic characters Credit: Elwy Estates / Zoopla Heading out into the garden, an '80s-themed mural dominates the side wall, featuring an assortment of retro pop culture characters including He-Man, She-Ra, Optimus Prime, ET, and an Ewok from Star Wars.
