Petroc Ye Old Fisherman'S Cottage

Ye Old Fisherman's Cottage is a town house dating from the 17th century, located on Higher Chapel Street in East Looe. The building features rendered rubble walls and a steep asbestos slate roof, with two rear lateral external stacks at eaves level, one of which has a later brick shaft. It has a shallow-depth plan and stands two storeys over a basement, with an irregular two-window range.

The left-hand window has been heightened and dormered, while the other windows are 20th-century casements, except for an early 19th-century 12-pane, 2-light casement on the ground floor to the right (known as Petroc), which is situated above the original doorway framed with an ovolo-moulded oak frame. The entrance includes an early 20th-century V-jointed ledged door and a simple shallow porch with a slate roof. To the left, there are rubble steps with slate treads leading up to a lean-to porch that has a 20th-century partly-glazed door and a window on its left, along with a basement window to the left of the steps.

At the rear, the cottage has a two-window range with 20th-century casement windows. Inside, Ye Old Fisherman's Cottage retains its original rear fireplace, which features a chamfered oak lintel, and oak ceiling joists where inspected.
