A rare opportunity to acquire this detached former hotel situated in an elevated position within the coastal town of Looe. The property offers extensive sea views from the upper floors and now requires a programme of refurbishment. Individuals may wish to utilise the building in its current guise or alternatively planning approval has been granted for the creation of four well proportioned houses.

Looe is a historic fishing port and popular holiday destination situated on the South Cornish coastline and featured heavily in the popular BBC series Beyond Paradise which aired earlier this year. The town, which has a working fishing port and beach, offers a range of shopping and other amenities.
