Expanding your property options - Nuclear Bunker?

A bit too small, but then again it is pretty cheap.
Not sure location is smart - putting it on top of the hill to watch nuclear explosion with the wave hitting the hill in any case can cause the hill to be somewhat lowered...Comment

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.Comment

The decommissioned cold war bunker, built in 1959 into a field in the Peak District, has attracted hundreds of hits.Comment

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.

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). "

Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
