I thought this might appeal to some on here:

Unassuming bungalow hides network of tunnels and underground railway

You’d be forgiven for thinking this was just an ordinary bungalow in Reading.

No different to mine. Except ours houses a nuclear fallout shelter complete with a communications hub direct to the prime minister.

I like the railway turntable at the junction...

...but I wouldn't buy it, as I'd have doubts about its safety and legality. You can't know how much rebar is or isn't in the tunnel roof or how rusty it is.

The colour of the crumbly mortar between the blocks that the paint won't stick to looks like they used one bag of cement for the whole project.

What else are you supposed to do when you run out of DIY jobs.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

I'm amazed at how much free time some people seem to have. If they got this much done surely it must have been botched?

There again it was done before the days of the internet, Netflix and phone apps. Back when people didn't stare at pixels all day.

Ah, they say it's tunnelled in chalk.

Very popular for South Coast forts.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

I hope they kept it all as a hill somewhere. You'll need it to fill all those holes in the ground to make the place safe again.

Some say that the advantage of fallout shelters is that you don't need to dig a hole to bury the occupants.

If that was local I’d be interested

A bit of an odd hobby / project. I wonder if the owners were all insane? I cannot imagine Lena being too helpful digging tunnels under the house on an evening and weekends tbh.
