The Isle of Wight will be on our TV screens this Sunday evening (10th November) as The Bunker in St Lawrence features on ‘World’s Most Secret Homes’.
Episode three of the series features homeowners discussing what attracted them to unusual and secluded properties, from extravagant underground bunkers to cabins on remote islands.
The Bunker
Isle of Wight artist, Lisa Traxler, and her partner, architectural designer, Lincoln Miles, were invited to take part in the TV programme and were filmed over the summer at the former Royal Air Force radar station, which has now been converted into a stunning home, The Bunker.

This episode explores the home in more detail, providing a great showcase for Lisa’s great dazzle work.
