Our June 2018 auction featured a truly unique opportunity to purchase a former nuclear bunker in Farmborough near Bath.
This was a chance to own a piece of Cold War history, which even came with some of the original equipment! The subterranean bunker comprised of a main room (approx. 115 sq ft) with a separate toilet and was accessed via a secure hatch and ladder. Above ground the property included a parcel of land measuring approximately 127 sq m which benefits from stunning 360 degree views from the elevated position, one of the key reasons for its use as a nuclear observer post.
This lot generated high levels of interest during the period leading up to the auction with over 50 prospective bidders viewing before the auction. Guided at £10,000 - £15,000, the property eventually sold for £23,000 under fierce competition in the auction room, more than double the lower guide range estimate.
