Description:

A well appointed marine apartment with captivating sea, estuary and coastal views in a Grade II Listed Napoleonic Fortress. Hall, sitting room, dining area, inset balcony, fitted kitchen area, double bedroom, luxury bathroom, garage parking, exceptional communal facilities including tennis court, swimming pool, Italianate gardens. Harbour facility available.

LOCATION
The apartment lies within the historic and fascinating Fort Picklecombe, built in Napoleonic times and converted into over 100 apartments in the late 1970's, located on the western side of Plymouth Sound. Strategically this is an extraordinary position enjoying panoramic views spanning The Sound to the City of Plymouth, Plymouth Breakwater and the coastline of South Devon beyond.

The Fort lies within the Mount Edgcumbe Country Park which allows access to many miles of beautiful coastal walks while the twin fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand are a healthy walk to the south west providing a wide range of local facilities. This is the Rame Peninsula which lies between Whitsand Bay and Plymouth Sound, an area of very special qualities which will attract those who value rural tranquility and breathtaking scenery. The facilities of Plymouth are not far away, which may be accessed on foot from the Cremyll Ferry, which lies about two miles by road from the property, linking directly to the City, or via the Torpoint vehicle ferry to the north, or a longer route via the A38 by road and the Tamar Bridge.
DESCRIPTION

Within the confines of the building lies a harbour, over which the apartment looks.

Presented to an attractive standard and recently refitted No. 31 enjoys an arrangement that could easily accommodate four adults if a typical pull down bed arrangement was created to the rear of the living space.
