Description

The Black Horse Agencies and Looe Bakery is a pair of town houses with later shops, likely built in the mid-19th century. The front is rendered on studwork, and the building features a rag slate hipped roof with projecting eaves supported by modillions, along with a cast-iron ogee gutter. It has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall with a four-window range. The original windows are 12-pane hornless sashes. On the ground floor, there are two late 20th-century shop fronts with doorways located together in the center. The interior has not been inspected.
