Fort Picklecombe

Situated within the magnificent Officer's Mess at Fort Picklecombe, this remarkable two-bedroom duplex combines heritage architecture with spectacular sea views and contemporary comfort. Offering a wealth of character and positioned within the original fort walls, the property includes a private terrace, secure parking, and bespoke circular kitchen, all just moments from Mount Edgcumbe Country Park.

Ground Floor:
Entry is via a generous hallway with elegant proportions, from which the principal rooms flow. The main bedroom, set within the tower and shaped by its curving stone architecture, enjoys a unique triple-aspect outlook through tall windows and benefits from it's own turret with hand basin and WC. The second bedroom is a well-proportioned double with fitted wardrobes and sea views, sharing access to a modern Jack and Jill shower room with large walk-in enclosure, contemporary vanity, and concealed WC. The hall also opens directly onto a beautifully sheltered private terrace, perfect for enjoying the sea air and dramatic surroundings.

First Floor:
A broad first-floor hallway doubles as an ideal study area or reading nook, with lovely outlooks toward the countryside. Leading from this space, the bespoke circular kitchen forms the heart of the home-a light-filled room featuring integrated appliances, a curved bank of units and breakfast bar, and ample space for informal dining. A conveniently placed cloakroom/WC sits off the connecting hallway. The vaulted living/dining room lies at the western end of the plan, bathed in light from a large window framing sensational views across Plymouth Sound. This grand yet comfortable space features curved ceilings, alcoves, and an inviting layout for relaxing or entertaining.

The Grounds:
The property enjoys a large private terrace accessed directly from the hallway, providing the perfect spot for alfresco dining or simply admiring the uninterrupted sea vistas. This terrace flows seamlessly onto a portion of the expansive communal decking, offering further outdoor space to soak up the setting.
Parking:
A secure undercroft parking space is included, along with visitor parking and access to the coastal paths that surround the fort.

The Situation:
The Officer's Mess (above Fort Picklecombe) occupies a commanding position on the Rame Peninsula, a dramatic and historic headland bordered by sea and countryside. Originally designed to emulate Warwick Castle, this Grade II Listed Napoleonic fort has been transformed into a private, gated community, surrounded by sweeping lawns and clifftop walks. This exclusive development is just a short distance from the picturesque twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, and the ferry at Cremyll offers a scenic connection across to Plymouth. The Officer's Mess, comprising just nine unique homes, benefits from access to the foreshore and lies adjacent to the beautiful parkland of Mount Edgcumbe.
