Description

Perched high above the shimmering waters of Plymouth Sound, within the historic Officer’s Mess at Fort Picklecombe, lies a home that perfectly marries coastal grandeur with modern refinement. This remarkable two-bedroom duplex, set within the original fortified walls, is a rare opportunity to inhabit part of Britain’s architectural heritage—now thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living.

From the moment you enter, there's a sense of calm and timeless elegance. A wide, welcoming hallway with generous proportions leads you through the ground floor, where the principal rooms enjoy both character and comfort. The main bedroom is set within the curving stone walls of the original tower, offering a space unlike any other. Its triple-aspect windows invite natural light and sweeping views of the sea and countryside, while the adjoining turret, complete with hand basin and WC, adds a truly unique touch. This room also offers a sense of peaceful privacy.

The second bedroom, equally inviting, is a well-sized double with fitted wardrobes and views toward the sea. It shares a beautifully appointed Jack and Jill shower room, fully tiled throughout and featuring a large walk-in enclosure, modern vanity unit, and concealed WC. From the hallway, doors open directly onto a private, sheltered terrace—a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, alfresco dining, or simply take in the ever-changing sky and sea.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with a broad first-floor hallway that naturally lends itself to use as a study area or reading nook, complete with lovely sea view towards the enchanting villages of Kingsand & Cawsand. From here, you step into the heart of the home—a bespoke circular kitchen that is as practical as it is eye-catching. Curved cabinetry, sleek quartz worktops, and integrated Neff appliances (including oven and hob) make it a space to gather, cook, and unwind. There's a breakfast bar and room for informal dining, all surrounded by light and architectural charm. A cloakroom and WC are conveniently located just off the hallway.

At the western end of the floor lies the show-stopping vaulted living and dining room. With its grand, curved ceilings and expansive feature window framing far-reaching ocean views, this space feels both dramatic and deeply comfortable. Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening, the atmosphere here is unforgettable.

The home is fitted throughout with hardwood flooring and underfloor heating, ensuring warmth and texture underfoot in every room. Outside, the private terrace flows seamlessly into the communal decking area, offering additional space to sit, relax, and absorb the spectacular clifftop setting.

A secure undercroft parking space is included with the property, along with visitor parking and access to the coastal paths and private foreshore that surround this exclusive development.

The Officer’s Mess is an iconic part of the Grade II Listed Fort Picklecombe—originally designed in the image of Warwick Castle and now home to just nine uniquely crafted residences. Positioned above the sea on the dramatic Rame Peninsula, this gated community offers tranquility, beauty, and a profound sense of place. Just a short distance away lie the charming twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, while a scenic ferry from nearby Cremyll links you directly to the vibrant Barbican quarter of Plymouth. With Mount Edgcumbe Country Park on your doorstep, daily life here can include historic woodland walks, quiet beaches, and awe-inspiring views at every turn.

About Pilkington Estates, Stoke

Harscombe House 1Darklake View, Plymouth, PL6 7TL

Buying and selling property is both an art and a science. In the 21st century, the world of estate agency has blossomed in the digital environment, leaving many traditional firms left standing, eyeing the technology with confusion and suspicion rather than embracing it. The team at Pilkington Estates are digital natives, embracing everything the modern world has to offer to help present your home in the best possible light, and using technology to get the right message to the right buyer at the right time.

This contemporary, no nonsense approach is balanced by a sensitivity and empathy towards their customers, both buyers and sellers, that allows us to offer a truly one to one bespoke service.

We understand that every customer is different, and each client has different needs and requirements, so will customise any modern method of selling to suit individual requirements.

Whether you are an old hand with multiple sales under your belt, or whether you are selling a much loved family home for the first time, Pilkington Estates are careful to hand hold you through the process as much or as little as you need.

We can help keep your house hunting enthusiasm burning with intelligent recommendations or can take the strain of the entire relocation process by doing all the running around that you are too busy to do.

We sit comfortably in this fast-paced world, understanding your need for urgency. We bring an energy and confidence to the whole buying and selling process that will get the job done without the drama.

This is not an agency that likes to sit around waiting for the phone to ring!
