"It's just like an ordinary four-bedroom bungalow, it's not dark or anything. But it's very secure. There could be a zombie attack and nothing would get in." :lmfao:

My thoughts too. It's still quite interesting however. :)

Indeed. I did trawl a bit on google for pics of it but no luck... only one of the kitchen, and that was nothing particular...

Edit: 3 tiny pics here (http://www.thisiscornwall.co.uk/homepagenews/Wartime-bunker-turned-holiday-hideaway/article-1178601-detail/article.html)

It's typical of the casual anti-zombie feeling we encounter all too often these days that this lady should have put zombies on the same basis as Nazis as groups we would not want to see in Penwith. The access problems zombies face are exactly the same as those as disabled people, but I bet she wouldn't dream of saying that one of its design features was that it would keeps disableds out. The fact is that for zombies, getting in would not be a problem with the specialist light tubes which they could slide down, but getting out would be. In which case the owner would be trapped underground with zombies, hopefully long enough to realise that they are a much maligned minority group.

Nice concept idea, wish it was on that program grand designs (love that program) that host has done very well considering how long each episode takes to make :rolleyes:

I'd get annoyed by having to mow the roof. As for the property, I guess it comes with some land etc so it's probably reasonable value for money. Great for someone who does music or something that would otherwise disrupt the neighbours.
