About this property

A Literary Haven in the Heart of the Staffordshire Countryside

Hidden away within the rolling landscape of the Teddesley Park Estate and occupying an envious rural plot, this three-bedroom semi-detached home is a place where imagination and history are deeply rooted in the land. Known as Gypsy Green, the redbrick cottage where J.R.R. Tolkien lived in 1918 with his wife Edith and infant son, the property is widely believed to have shaped the earliest threads of the stories that would one day become The Lord of the Rings.
