An exciting opportunity to purchase a piece of post war British history located in the South Hams on the outskirts of the countryside village of Ugborough. The site consists of a rectangular area of land being approximately 0.12 acres (440 square metres) of which the bunker itself lies to one side. The site is no longer fenced but has been fenced in the past with concrete post and wire link fence, only one section remains standing. Access is via foot over a right of way along the field hedge line.
The ROC Cold War Bunker is approximately 11.4 square meters internally a shaft access and closet for chemical toilet.
On last inspection, the bunker itself has some water ingress and damage to the lid. The bunker contains cupboards, shelf, bunk-bed and various other items.
The site is located on top of the hill overlooking Ugborough village. The site is in a field and has panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
Ugborough is a charming old South Hams village set in beautiful countryside, mentioned in the Domesday Book, with a long history dating back to Saxon times. Today, there is a primary school, 2 restaurant/pubs and the 12th century church flanks one end of the large village square, where the annual fair is still held. For more comprehensive shopping, there is Ivybridge to the west, Modbury to the south, and Plymouth is within easy commuting distance via the A379 or A38.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
