FANTASY fans of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit can now get their hands on their very own 'Hobbit House'.
The incredibly quirky working Hobbit hole comes alongside a five-bed home that has just been put on the market in Oxford for £1.25million.
The detached house, in Old Road, Shotover, on the face of it appears as any other secluded, country home, with beautiful views across Oxford to Boars Hill and the Ridgeway.
But delve deeper and the sale promises a hidden treasure inspired by the Oxford's writer's famous words 'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit” introducing the much-loved children's novel.
Nestled neatly in a third of an acre which couples the property is the impressively recognisable 'hobbit house'.
The incredible creation has a completely wooden interior decorated largely in balusters, whilst outside the hobbit house appears to be decorated in wooden log slices. It comes complete with the famous circular door that take you in to the living area.
It sits built into the landscape of its very own fantasy land made up of a maze of pathways, dry stone walls, mature trees, plants, ponds and a hill 'as tall as the house'.
The advert is sure to have fantasy fans itching at the chance to sink into a world of fiction inside their very own hobbit house, as the perfect spot to enjoy Tolkien's works.
Away from the hobbit House, the million pound home is about 2356sq ft and includes an entrance hall, three reception rooms, kitchen, cloakroom, family bathroom, five bedrooms with two ensuite bathrooms, games room and garage/workshop.
It is being sold by estate agents Penny and Sinclair and has a guide price of £1,250,000.
