"Hobbit" home on the cheap

Man Builds Fairy Tale Home for His Family – For Only £3,000 article/photos.



More info on his own site.
(I see I was not the only one to immediately think of a Hobbit home.)

Seems  cool. And if it's as well done as the Woodsman's Cottage I've blogged before, probably very comfy and cosy too.

  1. "comfy and cosy"

    Two of my favorite words...for what to wear and where to be! :-P (except, I'm going to take a "z" on that cozy, over here! ;-)

  2. It looks to have a staircase though so it's not really a hobbit hole.

  3. It's also not built into a hillside, although not all Hobbits had homes like that - only the rich ones. I can't help wondering if living there all the time might get to be a bit much. The tree branches with bark would get real old real fast.

  5. ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!It clearly says the house has a turf roof. That's not the same thing as being built into a hillside as was Bag End.

  6. It does actually say it was built into a hillside, but I can understand the confusion - it also says a turf roof which gives a different impression I think.
