Fort Picklecombe, originally built in 1860, was converted into apartments in 1977 using the original dressed granite and stone walls of the Fort. All the apartments have marvellous views over Plymouth Sound (see photograph). The Song of the Sea truly lives up to its name, with large windows leading out to the balcony and only yards from the water’s edge, the sound of the sea is always in the background. This lovely first floor, open plan style apartment is most attractive with a soft blue sofa and chairs and blue, green and yellow curtains giving a bright, almost Mediterranean feel to the living-room. The galley-style kitchen-area also looks through to the balcony. From the bedroom-area, which has two steps up from the living area, you can gaze out to sea while still in bed. Fort Picklecombe is bounded by the Mount Edgcumbe Country Park which has a Grade I Listed garden and some lovely walks. Within the Fort itself are terraced landscaped gardens and a private harbour, there are lovely beaches within a short drive and the nearby village of Kingsand has several welcoming pubs.
