A Cold War bunker, originally part of the Royal Observation Corps network, has been listed for sale in Folkestone, Kent, with a starting price of £45,000. The property is described by estate agents Miles and Barr as "not your average listing."
Constructed in 1971, the bunker is noted as the last of over 1,500 such posts built in the UK during the Cold War. The listing emphasizes its "beautiful views" over the English Channel and towards France. The approximately 15 by 15 square meter structure is situated on a plot with a gated driveway capable of accommodating up to six cars, which the listing suggests could be an "ideal place to pull up the motor home and enjoy the view."
The bunker is accessible only via a ladder leading down from a rectangular corridor. While the property is reported to be in "good structural condition" and remains dry with a stable ambient temperature, none of its original interior fixtures and fittings are intact. A water supply is not currently present, though the potential for a connection exists. The property is being sold via a Modern Method of Auction, with a 56-day reservation period for completion.
The bunker is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is situated opposite the North Downs Way walking path.
