Description

Dating from 1888, this detached former coach house combines a two-bedroom first-floor flat with substantial ground-floor garage and workshop space. The flat has a separate side entrance and a central hallway leading to a lounge with an electric fire, two bedrooms with river views, a shower room and a fitted kitchen. The principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and storage. At ground level, the garage is accompanied by three adjoining rooms with a separate entrance, offering scope for storage, office use or other uses subject to the relevant permissions. The property also has off-road parking for four vehicles and a side garden with foundations. The listing refers to planning permission for an extension and alterations, including a partial change of use from private motor workshop to residential, under reference PA24/09096. Buyers should verify the permission, its status and conditions. The property is freehold and has mains water, drainage, gas and electricity, gas central heating and uPVC double-glazed windows. It is within walking distance of Looe harbour, shops, cafés, restaurants and the beach. The combination of the existing flat and ancillary ground-floor space makes this a property where the permitted scheme and intended use will be central to assessing its potential.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The Old Coach House has a distinctive starting point: an 1888 coach house in a central Looe location, with river views, separate access to the first-floor flat and substantial ground-floor workshop space. The flat appears broadly usable, while the workshop and adjoining rooms offer scope to rework the property around the existing planning permission for alterations and partial change of use, subject to checking the consent and its conditions. The overgrown side garden and stated foundations add another element to investigate.

Key opportunities

  • Reimagine the substantial ground-floor workshop and adjoining rooms, making use of the separate entrance and checking the stated planning permission for partial change of use.
  • Retain and refresh the usable first-floor flat, with its separate access, river views and serviceable shower room.
  • Clear and improve the side garden, while professionally verifying the purpose, condition and suitability of the stated foundations.

Key risks

  • The worn, stained workshop floors, utilitarian finishes, tired forecourt and overgrown garden point to a substantial whole-property programme; plan for a full rebuild of the ground-floor interiors and coordinated external works, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • Roof condition is not fully assessable from the available views; inspect it, along with the visible exterior cracking, before committing.
