Reply to: Expanding your property options - Nuclear Bunker?

AtW. Surely this would be perfect for you?

I hope to be in the market for one soon, but I'll need a much bigger one - I'll reserve a place for you there MF, you'll be doing the dirty bunker work when the lights go out

[MarillionFan]

Good plan.

There is just one problem - the only connection to that bunker is a BT line, probably safe to say it is miles away from any exchange, here is what the ebay link says:

"There is a BT line to a telephone in the bunker. However, communication would have been via teletalk (as seen in the photo). "

Many is the time I've bid too much for tat I don't want after a few glasses of wine on a Sunday evening. I don't need a nuclear bunker. I really don't...

It would make a great DC or archive repository however in the event of an imminent nuclear attack, HMC would soon turf you out.

Not if the blast doors are big enough and you close 'em down...

Would benefit from interior decoration ebay link

A guy I worked with on a recent gig was in negotiations for one of the command and control bunkers in the North West, it was nuclear hardened and a lot larger than the one you linked.
He was outbid in the long run which was a pity, he really wanted the place and his plans were pretty impressive.

An expensive wine cellar perhaps?

If i had a spare 14K i'd be kind of tempted. Nice part of the world, i could buy some Llamas to graze the land and i'm sure there's loads of people who'd pay for the novelty of a couple of days self catering in a bunker.

Yes - good stop over for walkers. Gotta be worth it!

I wonder just what is wrong with it; apart from having to admit living near Sidcup.

No nuclear bunker in the backyard?

[HairyArsedBloke]

That one from last week, the Glass House, is still on the market at £2.65m.

I find it rather attractive.

No shower or any kind of washing facilities - ewwwwwww.

Wonder what the temperature levels are year round. Constant or near constant I expect?

[HairyArsedBloke]

Imagine the hassle getting back in if you locked yourself out.

But it would keep the police and the bailiffs out.

Quite a few former nuclear bunkers are now secure data centres. Can't get much more secure than that, with full EMP protection etc.

This one does seem a bit on the small side though, probably smaller than a portacabin - unlike this place that looks like something out of Bond.

From the article

an old nuclear bunker deep below the bedrock of Stockholm city, sealed off from the world by entrance doors 40 cm thick (almost 16 inches)

Imagine the hassle getting back in if you locked yourself out.
