Other Tower For Inspiration

Well over £1,000,000 difference in price between the two towers!

Both these towers were spotted on the same day. The top one is being auctioned on 13th September 2017. No price is given, but our estimate is that is likely to be between £20,000 and £50,000. Meanwhile the renovated tower is £1,250,000. Are you thinking what we are thinking?

Buy the ugly duckling tower from the auction and transform it into the beautiful thing that is currently for sale at over a million pounds.

This Diminutive Railway Building Is Our Favourite

You could quite happily write a website from such a nice place by the rails…

Railway Building Interior

If we hadn’t just found a near perfect location to write and produce Unique Property Bulletin, then this former station would be just the ticket.

A number of the museums are within easy walking distance of the property as are local inns, eateries, cycle and walking routes.

History of the Business: 14 years ago the present owners gave up their hectic business lives in London and bought Coalport Station. Although the station was closed in 1963 it had been lived in as a family home ever since.

Coalport Station. A Business + Income + Home

Definitely a unique property with a unique lifestyle

The current owners’ previous working lives had been involved with interior design of aircraft, autos, railways and clothing design.

They applied their knowledge and experience to restore the beauty of the station and develop a holiday letting business by bringing on site vintage Mark 1 Great Western Railway carriages and renovating the grounds. The original outside livery has been restored and the interiors renovated into modern luxury holiday accommodation.

Railway Carriage – Comfort & Style

The owners have marketed the carriages to guests who value the quiet, rural atmosphere found at the property and the history of the local area. The site embraces the past and present in a vintage setting. While guests enjoy the novelty of staying in a railway carriage they also appreciate the wildlife and woodland walk created and nurtured by the owners. This is a business with all the systems in place ready for a seamless transition to the new owners.

Railway Carriage – All Modern Conveniences

Coalport Station Holidays has been an extremely profitable and rewarding business for over 13 years and year on year profits have increased. This is an ideal opportunity to retain the current usage of Station House as a main family home with a unique profitable business. There could also be further potential to convert the main house for additional guest accommodation and develop the site further as full planning permission

Guide: £950,000

Location: Coalport Station, Coalport, Telford, TF8 7JF

Underground Bunker – Now Sold!

ROC UKWMO Burscough

With recent events (President Trump and North Korea), we have had several thousand extra website clicks and page views on our ROC UKWMO underground nuclear bunker pages. All of the UKWMO bunkers we have listed on our site in the past months, years and decades have been successfully sold, usually within a few weeks of being featured. Even though we are NOT an estate agency, this 100% sale result might account for why the owners of these unusual places get in touch with Unique Property Bulletin to ask if we can help sell theirs.

One such UKWMO owner got in touch with us directly a couple of weeks ago and asked us to help him sell his subterranean real estate. This bunker is known as ROC UKWMO Burscough. Well world events must be setting some folk off, as within 7 days this bunker has sold.

Here at Unique Property Bulletin HQ we would prefer to be quickly vapourised, rather than live the end of days without beloved family and stuck underneath the ground in what is effectively a comfortable coffin with a kettle. Happy Days!

Indeed, anyone thinking these old UKWMO bunkers may offer refuge from a multi megaton nuke might like to ponder the world map on that nice Mr Putin’s office wall.

Map of UKWMO Bunkers In The United Kingdom

AKA Mr Putin’s Dartboard

It is likely to have big red crosses marked on all the locations of these UKWMO bases and the co-ordinates plumbed into the various rockets at his disposal. Though an assumption President Putin might be the trigger is very unfair. He is qualified economist and whatever else the worldwide commentariat might suggest, the Russian leader is a very intelligent man of proven ability and one of the last people on Earth to set of a nuclear war.

Of all the candidates to press big red buttons, we would bet a million pounds it will not be Mr Putin. Meanwhile Donald J. Trump and the North Korean leader look to have twitchier trigger fingers. If we lose the bet and Vladimir does end up starting WW3, you can reach us at the big hole in the ground by John O’Groats to collect your winnings!

At the Bulletin we’ve sold several of these underground bunkers. They don’t make these old ROC UKWMO anymore, though there are still a few about.
