Do homes require other advertising marketing? The owner of this Cold War bunker in north-west London obviously thinks so.
The main outlets of this 10,000-square-foot concrete space describe it as a “pandemic shelter” and imply that it anticipates buyers in the following categories: “a secret entrepreneur, a celebrity who avoids paparazzi, a young or old playboy, trophy hoarder, car collector, original thinker, eccentric intellectual.
The owner, the sales agent, proposed the original description, according to a spokesman for FW Gapp, the genuine real estate firm that promotes Class II indexed property, which is for sale for $12. 9 million and is located in the suburbs of Mill Hill.
The Cold War relic, once a component of a military facility, built in the early 1950s as a war room or command center through the British government in reaction to the risk of nuclear war. The construction of the atomic era is now a 6-bedroom space on 1. 5 acres of its own land. Invisible from all points of view, with no close neighbor, and with five-foot-thick metal-reinforced walls and luxury amenities, it provides the best shelter for long-term locks or other global risks.
Built as a two-story surface structure, the cool box-shaped space has fresh levels of James Bond. The upper floor, the old map room, includes open-plan living spaces and rooms with glass walls around and doors leading to a rooftop terrace. . The ground floor includes an indoor pool illuminated through skylights, a sauna, a steam bath and a cinema room. Its park, on the other hand, has a garage for 6 cars, a patio with parking for 12 cars. Concrete walls with electric entrance doors, surround the gardens, recalling the brutalist gaze of space.
Near Finchley Golf Club, the space is located in the Barnet district on a greenbelt plot “which is prohibited in a different way for development,” according to a 2010 New York Times article about the property. According to the same article, space, called Seafield House, was originally “like a windowless grave. “”The concept was to create a life architecture from the architecture of death, because it was a nuclear holocaust and a kind of dr. Strangelove situation,” said London architect Dan Smith who redesigned the bunker in the article.
The space trader sums up the strengths of its location in the same ironic way, describing it as “a boring suburb of north-west London with nothing more to offer that; thirteen km from central London, Mill Hill School, near Waitrose, a restaurant.
According to a spokesperson for FW Gapp, Partingdale Lane’s assets are a complete, unique and independent space. According to the secret sense of the assets, the trader refused to comment on the space and remain anonymous.
