£300k to live in Reading is the real underground bunker.

Bond villain lair with underground railway goes up for auction in Reading

A former industrial site in Tilehurst, on the western edge of Reading, goes to live-streamed auction on 28-29 October with a guide price of £300,000-£325,000. Beneath it sit over 15 metres of brick-lined tunnels and chambers with a goods lift, water supply and an underground railway, which auctioneers BTG Eddisons pitch as a fallout bunker, an EMP-resistant server farm or "secure, discrete storage." Above ground are a 2,556 sq ft workshop, swimming pool, changing rooms and gardens, plus planning permission for a five-bedroom house and a three-bedroom conversion. Winning bidders pay a £2,700 buyer's fee and a 10 per cent deposit.
