Lord of the Rings fans can buy a country home with its own ‘Hobbit House’ for £2million
LORD of the Rings fans can buy a country home with its own “Hobbit House” in the woodland garden.
Owner Jan Lengyel consulted experts on Hobbit author JRR Tolkien to make 9ft high holiday-let Pod Hollow as close to the films as possible.
The property, which sleeps four, is for sale with Jan’s main five-bed home — up for £2million in West Stow, Suffolk.
Jan said of the project: “Our location is just perfect, with these amazing trees with major roots showing.
“It just lent itself to building something unique like this and I don’t think anybody would be able to replicate it.
“Our children had left the nest and we have this magical piece of woodland that we wanted to share with people who perhaps wouldn’t get to experience that quality of natural environment otherwise.
“The structure, which is made from a combination of concrete, reinforced steel and metal corrugated tubes, is surrounded by 300 tonnes of earth.
“It is so sturdy you could drive a tank over the roof.

“Everything inside, from the pictures to the board games, is inspired by Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit.
“It’s an absolutely genuine hobbit hole, inside and out. I think it’s the only one in the world, there’s definitely nothing like it in the UK or Europe.
“Even in Hobbiton, the film set in New Zealand, they’re only the external hobbit hole facades, there’s nothing behind the doors."
