This is where I would like to live myself. The front door (less than 100m from the beach) looks as if it belongs to a modest cottage, but venture inside and there is a spacious home from home. with a wonderful garden and courtyard behind it.

The large, lawned garden slopes behind the house with magnificent views across the village to a wooded hillside, and benefits from not being overlooked. There is also a level seating/dining area under the apple tree.
Location
Wren's Nest is at the top of Church Street, which leads directly to the beach, just past the tiny 14th Century chapel of St Just.
Gorran Haven is a cheerful and friendly small village half way down the south coast of Cornwall. It is very much appreciated for its two sandy beaches and small harbour with quay. In summer the beaches teem with families enjoying the sea, stream and rock pools.
There is a single main shop - Cakebread's - which is open all year and is the mainstay of the village, being the bakers, grocery, off licence, newsagent and post office.
In season there are several other shops: a fish and chip shop and a beach cafe; a small cafe restaurant, and the newly refurbished Llawnroc Hotel. In Gorran Churchtown, a mile inland, the Barley Sheaf pub has a pleasant garden, comfy bar and home cooked meals as well as pasties and pints of good local St Austell ales.
