A DIY Hobbit House January 26, 2023
Posted by nrhatch in Home & Garden, Humor, People, Sustainable Living.trackback
Stewart Grant, now 89, moved into a cottage he bought as a wreck (no roof, no windows, and no doors). He found it so satisfying doing DIY on the quirky outbuilding (which dated back 200 years and used to house a pig) that he decided to make it his home.
Now tourists from all over the world, especially France, stop by to check it out.
One suggested he have a collection box. Since then, all donations have been passed on to charities.
Another wee glimpse when Stewart was in his 70’s:
Aah . . . Bilbo Baggins would love this!

What a home! Creative people, they’re everywhere.
Isn’t it something! I love that he allows tours and contributes any proceeds to charity. What a guy!
I love his accent!
Yes! A bit of a Scottish brogue about him. LD
A big bit!
Wonderful creativity! Everything about it is quirky, imaginative and charming. I love his storage solutions and I love his garden. 🙂
So creative and clever!
If you decide on a road trip to the Highlands, you can swing by for a visit!
Indeed – and we have haven’t been to the Highlands so maybe that’s a trip in the offing. 🙂
Never? I’d pictured you traipsing over the whole of the British Isles . . . from Glen to Ben Nevis!
How wonderful! He could make a fortune using it as an AirBnB.
It would be a fun place to stay!
This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “tiny house,” which seems to be big these days as people downsize their living space. So much skill and craftmanship on display here!
I loved seeing all the nooks and crannies that he’d incorporated into his tiny design . . . including the toaster!
He looks like a hobbit. 😊What a perfect home for him. And how wonderful that people come to see it. The donation box is a good thing!
Yes! Or like a spry little elf! The house does seem just the right fit for him ~ a charming tinkerer.
And there’s plenty of room for second breakfast!
Is it possible to “break fast” more than once a day? 😀
I’d say that depends on the time of day and the food being served, though at some point it’s going to bleed over into brunch.
Breakfast ~> Brunch ~> Lunch = All Good!
Absolutely charming! I would love to have an in-person tour, but I’m glad to have seen the video. He seems like such a wonderfully creative and generous soul!
Agreed. Charming + Creative + Generous with a fab accent ta boot!
