HISTORY Fort Picklecombe was commissioned in the mid 19th century by Lord Palmerston, Foreign Secretary and then Prime Minister under Queen Victoria. Being an island, Great Britain was at risk from large scale enemy invasion by sea, particularly from France. Palmerston ordered a series of coastal forts and batteries to be built in this area to defend the large naval base at Devonport near Plymouth. The coastal entrance to Plymouth is known as Plymouth Sound, and was to be defended by Fort Picklecombe to the west, Fort Bovisand to the east, and a smaller fort on the Plymouth Sound breakwater. Guns were removed from the fort in the 1920s but after the outbreak of the World War II it was reactivated and manned by the Coastal Artillery. Just down the coast to the west of the fort range finder and searchlight positions were made. The remains of these positions still remain today. After the war, the fort was decommissioned and it stood derelict for many years. Eventually it was offered for sale to property developers and in the early 1970s it was converted to 103 residential apartments. A grand building, called the Officers’ Mess stands in an elevated position above the main fort complex. It is said that in order to meet the demands of the then landowner, the Earl of Edgcumbe, the officers mess had to emulate Warwick Castle, complete with towers and castellations. In the spring of 2007 work was well under way to convert the Officers Mess into apartments. Today the officer’s mess is an exclusive development of nine luxury apartments including two penthouses, with stunning coastal views over Plymouth Sound. The property is adjacent to Mount Edgecombe Country Park and has views of Kingsand and Cawsand Bay to the West and Jennycliffe to the East. A quiet rural retreat yet only a couple of miles as the crow flies from the urban sprawl of Plymouth. LOCATION Fort Picklecombe is located on western side of Plymouth Sound, close to Mount Edgcumbe Country Park. The Park has 865 acres of beautiful countryside with prepared walks and paths. Access is immediately behind the Fort. The City of Plymouth is easily accessible by the Cremyll Pedestrian Ferry. There are parking facilities at the ferry terminal and the scenic trip across the Sound takes 7 -8 minutes. The service operates throughout the day and into the evening. Alternatively, travel by car ferry from Torpoint. The service runs continuously at peak time and throughout the day and has recently been upgraded to provide a quick and efficient route to town. To travel by road, the A38 at Trerulefoot is about 11 miles away and provides good access via the Tamar Bridge to the Devon Expressway. This provides access to Plymouth City Centre and continues to join the M5 Motorway at Exeter. For golfing enthusiasts there are a number of excellent golf courses throughout the area including the world famous St Mellion Golf Course (designed by Jack Nicklaus) just 30 minutes drive (subject to road conditions) as is Looe Down Golf Course, while the stunning sea views from the cliff top of Whitsand Bay Golf Course. The area is famous for its sailing and water pursuits with the advantage of the sound where large yachts race in both summer and winter seasons. It is supported by an abundance of moorings, marinas and harbours for the seafaring comm. unity. Both the Ostar race and the Trans Atlantic race start from the Sound. Furthermore, there is a spectacular flow of Naval Vessels coming and going to ensure that the view is constantly changing. PARKING & SPECIFICATION Each property has been designed to provide a spacious an interesting home, with features such as stone architectural spiral staircase, vaulted ceilings and original stone detail. New natural wood floorboards have been laid throughout the properties. The specification of the building combines modern practicalities such as double glazed units together with thick stone walls built to sustain the original use as a fort. Both Penthouses have one covered parking space and one front open space each. The remaining seven properties have one space each with visitors parking. Work has begun to fit the kitchen and bathrooms in these properties but if a reservation is taken before work starts in any one of the four apartments you have a choice on the range available. PROPERTY Number 8, Officers Mess is a stunning and interesting penthouse apartment. This property is on two levels with the main sitting room located in the top of the turret on the second floor. From the stunning balcony you enter the property into hallway that leads through to the dining room at the far corner of the building. There are three bedrooms, two with ensuites and a main shower room and all bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom is situated at the rear of the apartment so you enjoy the full extent of the views. From the dining room you enter into the turret to where the kitchen is located and then from the kitchen you can walk up the stairs into the sitting room. From the sitting room, kitchen and dining room you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the Sound and towards Cawsand and the beach.

HISTORY Fort Picklecombe was commissioned in the mid 19th century by Lord Palmerston, Foreign Secretary and then Prime Minister under Queen Victoria. Being an island, Great Britain was at risk from large scale enemy invasion by sea, particularly from France. Palmerston ordered a series of coastal forts and batteries to be built in this area to defend the large naval base at Devonport near Plymouth. The coastal entrance to Plymouth is known as Plymouth Sound, and was to be defended by Fort Picklecombe to the west, Fort Bovisand to the east, and a smaller fort on the Plymouth Sound breakwater. Guns were removed from the fort in the 1920s but after the outbreak of the World War II it was reactivated and manned by the Coastal Artillery. Just down the coast to the west of the fort range finder and searchlight positions were made. The remains of these positions still remain today. After the war, the fort was decommissioned and it stood derelict for many years. Eventually it was offered for sale to property developers and in the early 1970s it was converted to 103 residential apartments. A grand building, called the Officers’ Mess stands in an elevated position above the main fort complex. It is said that in order to meet the demands of the then landowner, the Earl of Edgcumbe, the officers mess had to emulate Warwick Castle, complete with towers and castellations. In the spring of 2007 work was well under way to convert the Officers Mess into apartments. Today the officer’s mess is an exclusive development of nine luxury apartments including two penthouses, with stunning coastal views over Plymouth Sound. The property is adjacent to Mount Edgecombe Country Park and has views of Kingsand and Cawsand Bay to the West and Jennycliffe to the East. A quiet rural retreat yet only a couple of miles as the crow flies from the urban sprawl of Plymouth. LOCATION Fort Picklecombe is located on western side of Plymouth Sound, close to Mount Edgcumbe Country Park. The Park has 865 acres of beautiful countryside with prepared walks and paths. Access is immediately behind the Fort. The City of Plymouth is easily accessible by the Cremyll Pedestrian Ferry. There are parking facilities at the ferry terminal and the scenic trip across the Sound takes 7 -8 minutes. The service operates throughout the day and into the evening. Alternatively, travel by car ferry from Torpoint. The service runs continuously at peak time and throughout the day and has recently been upgraded to provide a quick and efficient route to town. To travel by road, the A38 at Trerulefoot is about 11 miles away and provides good access via the Tamar Bridge to the Devon Expressway. This provides access to Plymouth City Centre and continues to join the M5 Motorway at Exeter.

The area is famous for its sailing and water pursuits with the advantage of the sound where large yachts race in both summer and winter seasons.
