THE derelict, burnt out shell of Osborne House, the 17th century restaurant and bed and breakfast establishment, hit by a devastating fire at the beginning of March, has been put on the market as it stands. The restaurant, which needs total refurbishment, is one of Looe's oldest buildings and is situated in Lower Chapel Street. The blaze, which took the resources of six fire brigades to bring under control, left the building with virtually no roof and gutted inside. Owner Judith Williams, who had only taken over Osborne House 14 months earlier, was left with no business, home or possessions. John Pope of Pope's Estate Agents in Looe, who are handling the sale, says Judith has settled with the insurance company and now wishes to sell the building as it is, with offers invited at around £150,000. The Grade 11 Listed building has four letting bedrooms and owner's accommodation with planning permission for two dormer windows upstairs. Mr Pope says it could once more be a business after renovation or could be turned into a house.
