Joes Cave, Croxall Road

A truly unique property located in the charming village of Edingale, Tamworth. This exceptional property is named after its former occupant, Joseph Golubic, a Yugoslav refugee who resided here from 1954 to 1982. Joseph, known for his ingenuity and foresight, utilised the original structure as a fallout shelter, creating an underground haven 16 feet below the ground, complete with 12-inch thick concrete walls. He even went on to construct an indoor swimming pool and invested significant resources in fortifying his home, driven by the concern of a potential World War III.

The current owner recognised the historical significance and allure of this property and embarked on re-building on the site to create their dream home, while respectfully retaining the original name. The result is a captivating bungalow that seamlessly blends modern luxury and village viewing, with a fascinating history.

As you step inside, you are immediately greeted by the breathtaking views that stretch across the rear garden and beyond, encompassing picturesque fields. The reception rooms of the bungalow have been thoughtfully designed to maximize these vistas. The spacious lounge, separate dining room, and the living kitchen/family area with a utility space all feature large windows that allow natural light to flood in, creating an inviting ambiance. These rooms are accessed from the welcoming entrance hall, which leads to a through hallway, connecting the various areas of the home. Additionally, the hall provides access to the guest cloakroom and a study, offering a private retreat for work or reading.
