A Cold War bunker 14ft underground is on the market for £25,000 and perfect as the ultimate hide-out.

The reinforced concrete shelter in Cornwall is big enough for two adults and was built to survive a nuclear bomb.

Buyers hoping to self-isolate and hide away from the world can buy a slice of history with the original bunk bed from 1961 and chemical loo still in place.

The former Royal Observation Corps Monitoring Post, hidden beneath a field near St Agnes, was part of a network of more than 1,563 bunkers.

The survival shelter was prepared for volunteers to monitor the aftermath of a nuclear attack and consists of a 14ft access shaft, toilet and monitoring room.

Volunteers had gadgets including a bomb power indicator and Geiger counters to measure radiation in the event of a nuclear bomb.

Buyers hoping to purchase the hideout will find they can only access the shelter by lifting a heavy metal hatch and climbing down a 14ft ladder.

The bunker, listed on RightMove for between £25,000 and £30,000, has been abandoned since 1991 and will go up for auction next month.

But thanks to lockdown viewings are out of the question with video tours available for hopeful buyers.

Adam Cook, director of Auction House Devon and Cornwall, told The Sun: "This is a former Royal Observation Corps lookout station.

"Also known as a nuclear bunker, it acted as a Cold War observation point which was opened in 1961 and decommissioned in 1991.

"It's historic stuff, there's a couple of old bunk beds down there and a small chemical toilet, it's a small piece of British history.

"We have had a lot of interest in it from lots of people who presumably want to use it as their own Covid-secure hideout."

Set in a rural location the bunker is around two miles from St Agnes and the Cornish coast and can only be reached via a rustic track.
