Description
This building, located at Princes Square in West Looe, is a house with two shops, dating from the 18th century and remodelled in the early to mid-19th century. It features a render on studwork and rubble, a steep asbestos roof with a rendered stack on the right and a lateral stack at the rear left, and a cast-iron ogee gutter. The building has a shallow-depth plan, is two storeys high plus an attic, and has a three-window range.
On the first floor, there are late 19th-century four-pane horned sash windows, including one at the centre and one in the gable of the left-hand return. The ground floor showcases a rare complete mid-19th-century transomed double-fronted corner shop at the left-hand corner, which includes three lights and sidelights flanking a splayed doorway with a glazed door, all beneath a moulded entablature with a fascia. There is a similar moulded entablature over a pair of central pilastered doorways and over a two-light shop window on the right; the left-hand doorway is now partly blocked and fitted with a two-light window, while the other doorway has a glazed door. The interior is plain where inspected.
