Description

A truly unique opportunity.

In a desirable and established residential area, a secure gated driveway leads to this large site which contains a 2,556 sq.ft. workshop over 3 floors, parking, gardens, a large swimming pool, and changing rooms.

Planning was granted by West Berkshire Council, Ref: 24/01343/FUL on 19/12/2024, we refer bidders to the planning portal for the drawings and decision notice. The scheme will create a substantial, 5 bedroom 2-storey dwelling on the site of the swimming pool, while conversion of the workshop creates a spacious 3 bedroom house.

The truly unique feature of this property is the extensive network of subterranean tunnels and rooms, served by a goods lift, and benefitting from a private borehole water supply. This valuable resource, extending to approximately 1,380 sq.ft, has the potential for many uses, including;
Fall-out bunker
EMP resistant server farm
Secure discrete storage
A prepper’s paradise!

This is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity for an imaginative buyer dedicated to the extraordinary.
