Hobbit House Hunters

November 1, 2019

Looking to upgrade your hobbit hole? The Oxford home where J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy is on the market for a cool $6 million. According to House Beautiful, the estate will leave you plenty of room to write your own epics: “A little over 50 miles away from London, Tolkien’s Oxford abode has been left in almost the same exact condition as it was in when it was first built in the early 1920s. (Tolkien lived there between 1930 and 1947). The two-story family home is extremely spacious, featuring high ceilings, two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a walk-in pantry, six bedrooms, and more.”
