Muž objavil starú jaskyňu a prerobil si ju v útulný domov

by Abel

A former businessman has returned to underground living by converting a cave in the Wyre Forest, Worcestershire, into his dream home

Angelo Mastropietro, 37, spent eight months single-handedly transforming the 800-year-old hobbit hole into a 21st century luxury bolthole

The father-of-two excavated 70 tonnes of stone by hand before turning his dream into a reality. This is the finished dining room in the cave

Mr Mastropietro, who designed and created this kitchen, spotted the cave when he and some friends found shelter during a rainy bike ride

Although he wanted a calm and peaceful home Mr Mastropietro did not shun all the trappings of modern life and has electricity and water

The completed home, which features on tonight's Grand Designs, has a huge terrace, intimate rooms and white walls to brighten it up

It sits in an area which apparently inspired JRR Tolkien to create Middle Earth

Mr Mastropieto did not need planning permission and had no guidance of how to convert the space. He spent £100,000 on the conversion
