A hole in a field in the UK is sold for £36,000.

The auction for a Cold War relic had bidders excitedly vying for the opportunity to own a piece of history. A nuclear bunker, nestled beneath a hill in the picturesque Peak District of Derbyshire, was sold for an impressive £36,000. Surpassing its original guide price of £15,000, the property attracted a flurry of interest from all corners of the UK.

The previous owners certainly had a unique vision for the bunker's interior. Upon entering, one is greeted with opulent velvet curtains, plush rugs, and ornate gilded mirrors adorning the walls. The cozy bedroom even boasts a log burner, perfect for keeping warm during those long, cold winter nights. However, if you were hoping for a luxurious soak in a bath, you may be disappointed to find out that there is no bathroom.

As you explore further, you may notice a recurring theme of yellow and beige throughout the bunker. But don't let that deter you, as there is plenty of storage space to make this living space your own. And in case of emergency, there is an unused chemical toilet that has yet to be opened. You can pretend you're camping or at a festival and make the best of the situation.

The bunker was originally built by the Royal Observer Corps as one of 1,500 listening posts across the country, in preparation for a potential nuclear attack. Equipped with a landline and radio communications, soldiers stationed here were ready to report any signs of a fallout. After being decommissioned in 1993, many of these bunkers were sold off, with some being used as mobile phone masts by telecom companies.

The auction listing generated a lot of interest online, even making it to the popular SpottedonRightmove Reddit thread. Many were drawn to the bunker's unique interiors, with some pointing out the framed picture of a mushroom cloud on the wall. Others joked about its potential use as a safe space for werewolves or an escape room scenario.

While some were put off by the lack of bathroom facilities, others saw the potential in owning such a historic piece of property. It was noted that it may be more cost-effective than building a bunker from scratch. Some even expressed their desire to own it, with one person saying that words cannot express how much they wanted it.
