Unmarked ruin
Unmarked ruin
I suspect this was too small for a dwelling, but nevertheless it was a brick structure. (My original comment).

UPDATE (2016), with thanks to MikeofDorset.
"The remains of the North Waltham WW2 civil bombing decoy control bunker that protected the town of Basingstoke. A combined 'QL' and 'SF' site, together they would have provided both special decoy lighting (QL), and explosive fire effects (SF or Starfish), simulating poorly blacked out residential or commercial areas under attack."
