Wednesday 3 August 2022 05:18 PM Quirky 'Hobbit-style' eco-home with a 'living' grass roof up for £1.75million ... trends now
A Hobbit-style eco-home resembling something out of Middle Earth which features a living grass roof and a biomass boiler has gone on the market for £1.75million.
Three Oaks is a quirky-shaped property that looks from the outside that it belongs in Lord of the Rings. Bearing similarities to 'The Shire' - home to the hobbits - it is located in a 'shire' of it's own - Shropshire.
The four-bedroom property is in Grinshill, one of north Shropshire's most desirable villages, and one of the current owners had the house built before it was finally completed in 2017.
The living roof improves the home's thermal performance by reducing the temperature in summer and locking heat in during the winter, which is needed now more than ever during the cost-of-living crisis.

A spacious downstairs features a kitchen and breakfast room along with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a large entrance hall and a music room
Three Oaks is just as desirable from the inside than it is from the outside with a spacious open plan kitchen with an AGA and grey-stoned flooring
The four bedroom property was built by the current owners and was later completed in 2017 as they wanted to live as a 'modern family'
The roof also creates a natural habitat for flora and fauna. The property runs off solar panels, a borehole and biomass boiler that all make it incredibly sustainable.
The property is spread out over 7,000 sq ft with a large entrance hall, a kitchen and breakfast room, a music room, four bedrooms and four bathrooms just on the ground floor.
Upstairs the magic continues where there is a library, sitting room, drawing room, dining room, kitchen and two store rooms. There is also an oak-framed triple garage with two large store rooms.
It is within walking distance of Grinshill Hill and has access to a host of public footpaths and bridleways for those wanting access to local walks
The house has been described by a Strutt & Parker agent as 'one of the best seen' for entertaining guests due to its long, uninterrupted views and privacy
