Fort Picklecombe is a Napoleonic Fort development and sits on its own coastal peninsula and enjoys panoramic sea views across Plymouth Sound and beyond. This sympathetic restoration merges modern and comfortable living facilities with stunning period features originally designed to emulate Warwick Castle, complete with towers and castellations. Today The Officers' Mess is an exclusive development of nine luxury apartments including two penthouses. The property is adjacent to Mount Edgcumbe Country Park in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has sea views of Kingsand and Cawsand Bay to the West and Plymouth to the East. The Officers' Mess is Listed Grade II.

On the ground floor a communal entrance room provides access to the Penthouse floor via a lift or staircase, opening onto a private roof terrace with breath taking views across Plymouth Sound and leads to the apartment entrance. The solid wood door leads into a light and welcoming hallway with engineered oak flooring and underfloor heating, which continues throughout the property.

The open plan kitchen/dining/living room forms the focal point to the home and offers a breath-taking 180 degree panoramic sea-views of Cawsand Bay and beyond through the composite double-glazed windows. The kitchen has shaker units and a black granite worktop. The kitchen provides ample space for entertaining.

The octagonal-shaped principal bedroom sits within the historic tower and enjoys sea views. It has a dressing area and an en-suite shower room. There are further three bedrooms and one has an en-suite bathroom. The family shower room is located off the hallway.

South East Cornwall and The Rame Peninsular
The Rame Peninsula is bordered on three sides by the Rivers Lynher, Tamar, the Plymouth Sound and the sea. In the heart of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are quiet secluded beaches, magnificent scenery and spectacular walks. Central to this is the Mount Edgcumbe Country Park which occupies 885 acres of beautiful parkland overlooking Plymouth Sound and the River Tamar. The park has been famous since the 18th century when the Edgcumbe family created formal gardens, temples, follies and woodlands around the Tudor House. Specimen trees such as Californian Redwood, stand out against copses which shelter a herd of wild Fallow Deer.

The historical fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, unspoilt by time, are filled with old colour washed cottages, narrow streets, pubs, restaurants and shops catering for all needs.
