West Country Special: A Cold War bunker for sale - Telegraph

West Country Special: A Cold War bunker for sale - Telegraph

It is rare for a surveyor’s report not to pick at least a few holes in whatever property you are buying. That said, even the most gimlet-eyed inspector would find it hard to question the structural soundness of the building Trevor Lethbridge and Derek Brooking are selling.

It is a bombproof Ministry of Defence military bunker, built in 1954 to withstand the worst that Russia and her Communist allies could throw at us. However, despite being blessed with a glorious location overlooking the Kingsbridge Estuary in south Devon, the Hope Cove shelter does not have a single window through which to enjoy the view.
