A property which was the former home of Lord of the Rings author J.R.R Tolkien is now on sale in Leeds.
The legendary author lived at 2 Darnley Road, West Park, with his family from 1924-25 while he was a Professor of English Language at the University of Leeds.
While he lived there Tolkien wrote his poem ‘The Nameless Land’, and his third son Christopher was born.
Now the property has been converted into three apartments which present a strong investment opportunity for a landlord who is also a fan of literary history.
Offers are in excess of £500,000 and the self-contained apartments are all tenanted with an annual gross income of £30,000.
Take a look inside to see how Tolkien’s former home looks now.
