Built during the nuclear threat era, the special bunker is fitted with a special earth bonding system to protect against electro-magnetic pulse from nuclear detonations.

In the 1960s, each of the 1,560 bunkers created cost the equivalent of an average terrace house to build.

But now this mint condition unit could be yours for £25,000.

Each bunker fits three people - who would have historically measured and monitored radiation levels if a nuclear attack happened.

And in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union, workers stopped using the bunkers for weekly training.

But with the current war in Ukraine and Russia's threatening invasion, the protected accommodation is now up for sale.

This bunker - unlike others from the era - hasn't flooded or been vandalised, leaving it in great shape for any potential buyers.

Built to standard government design, it's comprised of a solid piece of steel-reinforced concrete five metres below ground level.

states: "UKWMO Brundall is located in Norfolk, approximately 118 miles from London.

"Situated in greenfield countryside, surrounded on all sides by arable farmland.

"Most bunkers were built on high ground so their ground zero cameras would have panoramic views of the horizon.

"This plot is no exception and benefits from a very pleasant vista of surrounding unspoilt rural East Anglia.

"This bunker survived the civil defence cutbacks of the mid 1960s when half the original number were closed, many now having been demolished."
