Vine Cottage And Attached Coach House

Vine Cottage and the attached coach house are a small house and coach house dating from the 18th century, located on Princes Street in West Looe. The house features rubble walls and oak lintels, while the upper floor of the coach house is finished with weatherboard on studwork. The building has a steep hipped roof covered with asbestos slate, which includes two dormer windows. The wing of the house is also covered with asbestos slate, and the coach house has a bitumen-grouted ragslate roof. There is an external rubble lateral stack at the rear.

The overall layout is irregular and U-shaped, consisting of the original two-room plan house and a narrow 18th-century wing at the front right, which connects to a small workshop or former stable. This is linked to a larger coach house that runs parallel to the house.

The exterior of the house is two storeys plus an attic, with a regular two-window arrangement and a central doorway. The windows are early to mid-19th century 12-pane hornless sashes, including two sashes on the left-hand return. The front door is a four-panel design with the top two panels later glazed. The inner wall of the wing features a two-window range with a 9-pane casement above a 20th-century door on the left, and an original 12-pane casement with thick glazing bars and an 18th-century moulded architrave above a 9-pane casement on the right.

The link building and coach house have tall panes of glass set between vertical glazing bars. The coach house has a three-leaf planked door at the gable end facing the street. The interior has not been inspected.
