Okay but kid me would’ve loved having that
I probably would too, but the resemblance to a shelter you would have expected to see in someone’s garden in London in the 1940s was too fun not to share.
Yeah, I spent a good amount of my time as a kid in the crawlspace and in homemade box forts. I’d have loved an actual cave to hang out in!
Put some string lights and other decorations, it’ll look quite cozy
More of a traditional New Mexico Pueblo apartment, especially with the ladder, Adobe and vigas. Check out Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Bandelier National Monument or Taos Pueblo.
Love how their write up is “Cash flow like crazy with the ultimate Airbnb/VRBO.”
That’s what confused me about this. I guess I know nothing about British air raid bunkers. But to me that looks more like a Pueblo than a bunker.
That’s cool af
'Tis a mighty fine pueblo fort, but 'tis no WWII bomb shelter, English.
D’oeth!
That’s a house that they built exactly how they wanted. Selling be damned, and now they have to sell it.
I also wonder what all our clicks do to the analytics. “wow, my house is popular! I can sell it for more!” Nah man, we were just laughing at it.
Picture 1 to 7 look normal enough, then it just becomes a theme park zone backdrop for mine cart ride
I like the fake waterfall in the pool. It’s like they told the contractor they wanted a real waterfall and there wasn’t room, so he came up with a creative solution.
I kept scrolling through thinking whoever designed this was definitely not responsible for cleaning. The sheer despair I would feel if I had to dust all those rock surfaces!
but i would’ve killed for sth like that as a kid
(i did kinda build my own bomb shelter out of huge ass bricks that were laying around, only supported by it’s own weight and heavy ceiling)
I do prefer my living room not feeling like the interior of a zoo terrarium, even from the outside. I also like flat floors without pebbles.
A lot of the details of the house are lovely in isolation, that’s just a lot going on, and I don’t want to know how you clean the faux-rock surface.That’s kinda cool…
I would have loved that as a kid. My own fort, and I don’t have to go out in the rain to play in it.
This community is teaching me that custom everything is not actually a good idea. At least not when it comes to reselling.
Homeowner: I want to live in Casa Bonita meets Legends of The Hidden Temple.
Contractor: How much you got?
Clearly, this is a pizza oven. Your teenager will love it.
Definitely my first thought was some kind of hobbyist kiln
In what world would that be a bomb shelter? It looks like a little play house. You wouldn’t have wood beams and windows in a bomb shelter
Meanwhile, in Wiltshire…
That at least doesn’t have a lot of wood to catch fire. I guess if there’s steel plating or something to close that window it makes sense
I’m not sure people really understood what bombs were…
The shelter was to help you survive things like shrapnel from a nearby blast. Not to mention not having a house collapse on you. They weren’t meant to be bomb-proof.
That’s a hotel, no? What kind of family would buy this?
It’s marketed as an AirBnB
