He lived in a bunch of places, none of which are particularly interesting, and they're all a bit small to be practical to run as museums, IMO.

It was the home he had in Oxford which is more than large enough.

I'm just confused at what they'd fill it with? If it's up on the market that means that it's been lived in by another family for a good amount of time. I can't imagine there being anything related to Tolkien left.

I suppose you could do something with early editions and manuscripts in theory, but tbh it's quite hard to do literary museums well. The Tolkiens downsized quite dramatically when he retired and they went to Eastbourne (and he spent the last years of his life in a college room in Merton), so I suspect most of his possessions were dispersed a long time ago.
