Tolkien's magic drawing room
The house where JRR Tolkien wrote the Hobbit and most of the Lord of the Rings has been given protected status.
Despite having no special architectural qualities, 20 Northmoor Road in Oxford is to be a Grade II listed building.
Heritage Minister Andrew McIntosh announced the news on Tuesday, saying the decision was made on the basis of Professor Tolkien's importance.
The 1920s house was occupied by the author, who wrote his novels in the drawing room, from 1930 to 1947.
