At Unique Property Bulletin we have come close to buying one of these – United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation on a number of occasions. This one is in the wrong location for us, but would hopefully suit one or two of our eccentric readers. It is certainly priced to sell.
Since the inception of ROC in 1925 as an integral part of the UK air defence system, the primary role of the Royal Observer Corps (ROC) was the recognition and identification of hostile aircraft. With the start of the cold war and the increasing threat of nuclear attack in the 1950’s, the ROC was given the added responsibility of reporting nuclear bursts and monitoring fall-out which necessitated the construction of 1563 underground monitoring posts throughout Great Britain & Northern Ireland. In 1991 it was decided by the Home Office & MOD that the ROC would cease active training and the remaining underground posts were closed at the end of September that year. Most of the posts closed in 1968 reverted back to the original landowners while those closed in 1992 were put out to public tender.
Going Down
It can fee like crawling into your coffin a wee bit earlier than you anticipated.

Please remember, “Unique Property Bulletin ” is NOT an estate agency. We are just a group of eccentric friends who like to share details of unusual buildings that come up for sale.
The following narrative is from the owner of the underground bunker…
What are you buying and what is included? This is a rare opportunity to not only buy a piece of Cold War history but also an interesting freehold property. The property does not have a housing category and is not liable for council tax. You can legally stay in the bunker for up to 28 days per year but this is not tracked in any way. You are buying a 20 x 25 metre plot of freehold woodland just within the Dartmoor national park that contains a small nuclear monitoring station bunker. The plot is surrounded by Forestry Commission owned and managed woodland at the top of a hill. There are access rights in the deeds via a bridle path that is wide enough to drive a car along. There is also permission in the deeds place for the installation of mains utilities, however a quote for this process has not yet been sought. The bunker did originally have a BT phone line but this is no longer in place. There is mobile phone reception outside of the bunker in the wood. The bunker is at an altitude of 240 metres which puts it well above any potential flood risks and it is in a geographically stable area.

The bunker is ‘off grid’ presently with a battery powered 12v system in place. The sale includes a 80w mono-crystalline solar panel that can be deployed from the bunker shaft on arrival and connected to the 12v power system via a charge regulator. This will allow you to keep your main battery topped up during your stay. We have found that you can get FM radio reception inside the bunker if the aerial is touching the blast power indicator tube.

Since owning the bunker it has been fitted a new bunker hatch and frame as the original had been damaged when the previous owner opened the bunker after a period of years but had not accounted for the internal bunker hatch latch system. We have fitted a 12v LED light system with 2 dome lighting units in the main room (can be operated independently to save power) and one in the toilet area. The shaft also features LED strip lights that can be activated with a string on arrival before entering the bunker via the hatch. The strip lights are powered from an additional 12v 7Ah battery that lives in the bunker and is used to power a timed air circulation system. The timed air system ensures the air in the bunker is changed at least once per day which helps maintain a dry fresh environment. The timer can be set for any number of periods within a 7 day cycle. The 7Ah battery charges from a 5 Watt solar panel that is bonded to the external bunker vent.
Some original furniture and features:
Doors, table fixed to wall, cupboard, tool board, noticeboard, door mat, 2 government rubbish bins, hand pump for pumping water fromthe sump (rarely required).

For reasonably obvious reasons and usually at the request of new owners, we REDACT the LOCATION of each NUCLEAR Bunker that the Unique Property Bulletin helps to sell.
Most folk who own one of these diminutive mole-hole houses prefer to keep their address discreet.

Underground Bunker Sale Details
(now redacted)
FEPAC
Fair Electronic Property Auction Contract
Full 2-page contract from Unique Property Bulletin
Click Here & Ask Us
Please read the Ebay policy on property buying. It is just a means to advertise the property and once buyer and seller are happy a solicitor will be required for normal legal property sale processes. Too work properly, it needs a FEPAC…
=> For very popular buildings where there is a high demand, Unique Property Bulletin Ltd., recommend using a FEPAC agreement (Fair Electronic Property Auction Contract).
1]. A FEPAC Agreement requires the Buyer to pay the Seller a 5% deposit within 48 hours of electronic auction sale completing.
2]. In return, the seller agrees and contractually GUARANTEES there will be NO GAZUMPING (or else a 25% payment of the final sale value will be due from the Seller to the Buyer).
3]. That 5% deposit from the Buyer to the Seller SECURES 6 weeks EXCLUSIVITY to get the sale completed. If there are any hiccups, then a further 6 weeks can be granted at an additional 5%.
The “normal” deposit in a standard property sale/purchase conveyance is 10%. But that “normal” deposit system contains little to no reassurance as many folk just don’t bother paying a deposit!! We have seen many of the proverbial TEARS AT BEDTIME when folk do not follow a basic + decent + simple agreement. The FEPAC agreement is a simple two-page form that can accompany any sale process. .
4]. With a FEPAC Agreement, there are GUARANTEES for the Buyer that GAZUMPING will be BANNED for the duration of the sale conveyancing process. Also a GUARANTEE for the Seller that they have a SERIOUS Buyer who is committed enough to transfer a non-refundable 5% (or 10% if the ownership transfer takes 6 to 12 weeks).
