The hideout is bursting with history and comes with a steep price tag of nearly £1million.
The Cold War, between the US and the Soviet Union, lasted between 1945 to 1991.
Ceasing its purpose in 1990, the conversion took place in 2000, creating a stunning three-bedroom home.
From the outside, the family home looks like any other bunker, with a metal exterior and dug into the ground.
Unlike most homes, you enter the property through the garage, which is combined with a wood workshop.
The huge room has plenty of storage and even a small kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.
Descending a small set of stairs, you enter into an impressive elevator, which takes you to the bottom level.
There you will find the spacious kitchen, with a dining area, an overhead fan, a fridge, an oven and a dining table.
There is also a big living area to the left, filled with three sofas, a TV and lamps.
In addition, the home comes with a games room, complete with a pool table and darts board.
The house boasts three bathrooms, in addition to the three bedrooms, one of which contains its own ladders, offering extra privacy.
The bathrooms are all fairly plain, and mostly painted white with white furnishings.
And if that’s not enough, an underground tunnel offers secret access to different areas of the house.
The silo is listed for sale for £974,000.
The Cold War gained its name from the lack of military engagement.
The US and Soviets fought for power through political rivalry, however, both were armed with nuclear missiles.
In 1991, the conflict came to an end after Russian President, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the US President, George H. W. Bush, signed a treaty.
