Chapel Court, Shutta Road, East Looe

A unique opportunity to purchase a large family home together with retail premises all under one roof and incorporated within the conversion of a delightful chapel. Situated in the seaside town of Looe just a few hundred yards from the beach and harbour the retail element of the property is an established book shop and gallery set over two floors whilst the accommodation is a five bedroom family home, both of which have immense character and charm with many original and interesting features. The layout of the accommodation is such that it would also suit multi generational living whereby two families could each have separate apartments, both self contained and easily achieved with very little effort. The property has two separate entrances both on Shutta and within a few yards of each other, the first gives access to the retail premises whilst the other opens into the accommodation. The retail element comprises ground floor shop with stairs up to the gallery, a large characterful room with doors off to the accommodation on either side of the room. To one side there are three double bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom. Split level kitchen/diner with door onto the roof terrace where you can enjoy superb views over the roof tops of Looe, the harbour and across to West Looe. Family bathroom and utility room. To the other side there is a book store, office, double bedroom, spacious and characterful sitting room that has a feature fireplace complete with wood burning stove, doors from the sitting room open into the garden and a small ornate staircase rises to the primary bedroom with en suite bathroom. Outside there are generous tiered gardens, the upper level of which affords magnificent views and to the front there are two parking spaces. The property is extremely versatile and offers tremendous scope and potential and subject to the relevant permissions being sought the current accommodation could easily be converted into two apartments whilst the retail area could be a third. Sketch plans for this conversion have been drawn up and would be available to the purchasers.
