A former bomb shelter – with its own parking space – is being auctioned for £25,000 plus.

Located in Morweth Drive, Top Road, Downderry, near Torpoint, it is among 179 lots in the latest sale by one of the top five property auctioneers in the UK, Clive Emson Land and Property Auctioneers.

The shelter measures 13m by 3m inside, while its parking space is on a long lease in the nearby Morweth View car park.

Auction Appraiser James Lofthouse said: “This is a rare and interesting opportunity to acquire a former bomb shelter and nearby parking space located within the popular coastal village of Downderry.

“The site has sea views and the area enjoys views to Rame Head and Looe Island as well as ready access to the various clifftops, beaches and footpaths that grace this renowned part of the south eastern Cornish coastline.

“The property will most likely appeal to those on the lookout for a good sized workshop/store room or those with an eye for further development, subject to all the necessary consents.”

The shelter has previously been used for storage.

Torpoint and Plymouth – with its naval base – were among the targets for German bombers during the Second World War.

According to historical records, there was also a radar station at Downderry during the war known as Chain Home (CH) 15 although it had been removed by the late 1960s
