Description
This is an early 19th-century town house located on Lower Chapel Street, East Looe. The exterior is roughcast render with a mid-floor band above a rubble base, and it has a low-pitched roof covered in asbestos slate. The house has a small double-depth plan and an irregular one-window front. The ground floor features an original centre-hung 16-pane two-light casement window on the left and a 20th-century casement window in the centre of the first floor. A 19th-century four-panel door is present, with later glazed panels added above. To the far left is a round-arched niche, likely originally for a boot scraper. The visible return side of the house has 20th-century windows on both floors. The interior of the property has not been inspected.
