If you love history, this former transmitter bunker serving RAF Ringstead during the Second World War will really appeal. Now a Grade-II listed home, it has stunning views over the sea from both the south-facing terrace and the living space. With its original concrete walls, there’s a modern loft vibe here and there are creature comforts such as underfloor heating and a log burner. Located on the owner's dairy farm in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Ringstead Bay, you’ll be just two fields away from the sea.

About Dorset AONB
It’s been more than sixty years since half of Dorset was classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and while the world has changed immeasurably in that time, this corner of England looks much the same as it did back then.
