Property Description
Fantastic opportunity to buy a piece of past war British history. The once in a generation opportunity is to buy a ROC Nuclear Bunker otherwise known as A Royal Observer post. This particular site was one of many built in the 1950s and was designed to provide protective accommodation for three observers to survive a nuclear attack, they were expected to report on the nuclear bursts and on the fall out of a nuclear attack. They were provided with enough food and water for fourteen days and had a land line and radio communications available to them. The landline is connected and live and we are informed it can have broadband connected. Most of these sites were decommissioned and sold off in 1993 and we have been informed that many were bought up by telecom companies and now are sites for mobile phone masts as they were built as telecommunication posts so they are positioned in very favourable locations. The bunker is secure, dry and in its original condition, the current owner has refurbished and decorated it in readiness for its new owner. It also benefits from secure off-street parking. SDL are also in possession of the key which opens and locks the hatch. The current owner has also placed a shed on site. The site also has its own gate to access the land it comes with and vehicular access from the road over the land for access.
