I don't know that there is anything burrow-like about the houses in Northmoor Road, except possibly the cellars...

I didn't realise they had cellars.

That's just an assumption based on their age.

And not an unreasonable one.

I might still have the sale particulars of one of the houses there - I'll have a look.

I seem to remember that the interior of Bag End is quite roomy, from a hobbit's point of view...
