Known as Sgt Taylor’s Bunker, it is in woodland in Norfolk and advertised on website Host Unusual.

A listing describes it as the perfect spot in which to wind back time, and imagine life in the trenches — like in Oscar-winning film All Quiet on the Western Front.

Nearby are beaches, seal watching, archery, cycling and the Norfolk Coast Path.

Sgt Taylor was in the Lovat Scouts, a British Army unit formed in the Second Boer War of 1899-1902, who dug the training trench in 1915.

In 1916 they became the Army’s first sniper unit, known as sharpshooters.
