37, Looe Street

No. 37 Looe Street is a shop with living space above, dating from around 1800. The building features a stucco exterior on a studwork frame and has a dry slate roof. It has a double-depth plan and stands four stories tall, displaying a regular four-window arrangement with original windows and a rare shopfront from this period. The upper floors have tripartite hornless sash windows with glazing bars. The ground floor showcases a full-width moulded entablature above a moulded doorway that includes an eight-panel door and a horizontal diamond-paned overlight on the left. On the right, there is a double shopfront with canted and slightly bowed oriel windows that have a reduced number of glazing bars, along with a central moulded shop doorway featuring a later window. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be as well-preserved as the exterior. This building is part of a significant group of 17th and 18th-century houses, and its early 19th-century shopfront is a notable example of its type.
