The bunker was bought by Phillip Frostick, 56, in 1993 after it was spotted by his friends dad in a newspaper.

He and a pal bought it with big plans to do it up - but gave up on the idea when they realised the full extent of the cost and effort it would take.

While it lay abandoned for the last thirty years, it was broken into, trashed and burned - with valuables lost including an award won for the best kept bunker.

But Phillip believes that it could take just a few weekends of hard work to bring it back to fighting shape.

He said: "At the time it was really bought as a bit of a folly, but we never knew what it might become.

We thought we could do great things with it - and over the years I cant lie and say that Ive never dropped it into conversation.

At the back of my mind its not getting better - hopefully there will be a club or a history buff that has got a bit more enthusiasm and energy than I have to bring it back to what it would be like."

Many of the monitoring posts were built to a standard design consisting of a 14ft access shaft with a toilet and a monitoring room.

Officers stationed at the posts would forecast which areas would be in danger from nuclear fall out in the case of an attack.

They were built underground with many still intact nearly 70 years on from when they were first commissioned in 1955.

With a guide price of 21,000 to 28,000, potential buyers can view the bunker on Unique Property Bulletin.

Russ McLean, who set up Unique Property Bulletin in 1987, says a surge of Brits are considering bunkers as tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine continue.

Many fear the crisis inUkrainecould develop into a wider armed conflict or evolve into World War 3.

Mr McLean, who served in the police and the Royal Navy, claims to have fielded more than 3,000 calls, emails and texts from Brits terrified by what Putin might do.

He said: It bothered me. I was almost in tears and losing my bearings at times.

"It is not a small number - there is a huge national distress of people that are worried.

Now in Britain people are either building it or when these things come up - your click rate goes through the roof.

No telephone was provided, but the posts had a Warning receiver to know when to sound the hand operated siren, and the master post in each area had a radio for a backup to the landline intercom device.

The 63-year-old continued: There are seven bunkers we have sold in the past 10 years.

When Putin invaded, our clucks started going up significantly and noticeably in the two weeks that they invaded.

They have never really come back down.

My phone goes at least twice a day where you have a conversation with someone about nuclear bunkers.

I get at least two a day - it averages at three and you can add another thousand on for good measure.

Thats phone calls - thats not emails, thats not texts, so you can double that figure.
