Nuclear bunker on sale
An underground nuclear shelter in Somerset has gone on the market for £200,000.

The two-storey Royal Observer Corps control bunker near Yeovil, even has planning permission to be turned into three homes.

Steve Edmonds, from Humberts Commercial estate agents, told BBC News Online that he had conducted between 15 and 20 viewings.

"The strongest interest so far has come from imaginative individuals, he said.

"The property will most likely be sold next Friday by informal tender."
