27, Looe Street

No. 27 Looe Street is a town house with a later shop, dating from the mid-18th century. It features a painted brick front and a steep hipped roof covered with asbestos slate, set behind a coped parapet and a wooden modillion cornice. The building has a fairly deep plan and stands three storeys tall, with a three-window range that includes stuccoed keyblocks on the first floor and mid-floor bands. The windows are late 19th or early 20th century 12-pane horned sashes set under flat arches. The ground floor showcases a mid to late 19th-century pilastered shopfront, complete with a moulded cornice for the fascia entablature and consoles. It has a two-light shop window with a transom, likely from the late 19th century, a shop doorway to the right, and a house doorway on the far right featuring an original six-panel door with fielded panels. The interior has not been inspected but is expected to be of interest. This building is part of a significant group of 17th and 18th-century houses.
