Ref: 94100
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,
Plymouth. 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. After
the war, the fort was decommissioned and it stood derelict for many years.
Eventually it was offered for sale to property developers. 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. Today The Officers 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
Edgcumbe Country Park and has views of Kingsand and Cawsand Bay to the
West and Jennycliffe to the East.
