Description
1 The Fort is a remarkable Grade II Listed penthouse apartment occupying a prime position within a historic coastal fort on the Rame Peninsula. With sea views, an expansive private sun terrace and its own swimming pool, the property combines heritage character with modern comfort to create a truly unique coastal home.
The apartment extends to approximately 1,754 sq ft and offers generous proportions throughout. A welcoming entrance hall opens into a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with fitted units, integrated appliances and ample space for informal dining. The dining room, complete with feature fireplace and wood-burning stove, connects directly to the terrace, while the sitting room provides a second reception with equally impressive views and access to the outdoor space.
There are three double bedrooms, with the principal suite benefiting from a full en-suite bathroom and sliding doors onto the terrace. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Large windows throughout the property frame the spectacular outlook and flood the rooms with natural light.
The apartment's private sun terrace is a standout feature, offering unrivalled panoramic views over Cawsand Bay and the coastline beyond. It is perfectly suited for entertaining, dining al fresco or relaxing in the sunshine, enhanced by the private swimming pool.
Further benefits include a single garage, allocated parking and additional storage.

Location
The Fort is set on the edge of the sought-after village of Cawsand, a short stroll from the beach and village centre. Together with neighbouring Kingsand, Cawsand is steeped in maritime history. Once working fishing villages and notorious smuggling havens, today they are vibrant communities with independent shops, traditional pubs, restaurants and a sailing club.
The surrounding Rame Peninsula, often called Cornwall's forgotten corner", is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It offers quiet, sandy beaches, dramatic coastal scenery and immediate access to the South West Coast Path. Mount Edgcumbe Park, with 800 acres of historic parkland and woodlands, lies nearby, complementing the area's unique blend of heritage and natural beauty.
