A NUCLEAR bunker covered in reinforced concrete looks ugly from the outside - but metres below the surface hides an incredible secret.
Three luxury apartments nestled beneath the Grade II listed nuclear bunker in Mistley, Essex, are going up for auction later this month - with a guide price of ￡1.4million.

The bunker was built in 1951 - during the Cold War - to be used as a communications hub in the event of an attack.
They are kitted out with military grade tank steel and 600mm thick reinforced concrete walls to protect government officials - but it was never used.
Now, the three apartments inside the old bunker - one four-bed and two three-beds - are up for grabs.
Developers BuildVantage have created the homes over two floors, centered around a beautiful light-filled atrium.
All three still have the original reinforced doors and walls, and one of the properties also features an original ventilation system housed behind a glass wall.
The homes have a luxury feel with Italian marble bathrooms, granite worktops and underfloor heating.

Each apartment also comes with its own off-road parking and enclosed garden.
The properties were originally listed individually with prices starting at ￡550,000 but are now being sold together at auction.
The auction, through Allsop, will take place on 9 November.
