I see in Yesterday's Metro that an artist friend of Alan Lee has put her £380,000 Devon cottage up for sale. The kitchen has a mural painted by Alan Lee, Brian Froud and Charles Vess of 'Goblin Market'. The current owner is Terri Windling, founder of Endicott Studio for Mythic Arts, and she wants to take the murals with her but obviously can't!

Pictures are here but there's no story unfortunately.

The paintings are said to have added £25,000 to the value of the cottage (a beautiful thatch with stone walls) and it is said to be 'magical'. The estate agent pointed out that there is nothing to stop a new buyer from painting over the murals if they so wish, which is quite sad, as all of those artists are amazing.
