Description
7 The Nest is a luxurious contemporary holiday home set within a private, gated community in a recently-converted clay dry - part of the UNESCO-listed Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. The Nest now sits proudly elevated above Charlestown village centre. The Nest has been developed on the original site of The Lovering Dry, built in 1908 for the production of china clay. The dried clay was shovelled into a deep Linhay for storage and then transferred to the harbour and waiting ships via an underground tunnel. Many of these key features including the Grade II listed chimney are still evident today and have been incorporated into The Nest development.
Number 7 is a stylish newly-built property with high quality furnishings to match the exclusive style gated community in which it sits. With the added benefit of outside space and private parking, this property offers all the ingredients for a perfect Cornish holiday.
There are various pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance, with the backdrop of the beautiful 18th century harbour; in fact Charlestown has become a popular location for food lovers, rivalling Padstow on the north coast. You can walk off your pub lunches with a hike on the extremely popular South West Coast Path which runs through St Austell Bay, encompassing the harbourside villages of Charlestown and Mevagissey, The world famous Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are both just a short drive away, as are countless wonderful beaches to enjoy some sunbathing or water sports before returning to cosy up on 7 The Nest's terrace to enjoy the last of the evening sun.

A holiday in Charlestown is like stepping back in time, with its cobbled streets and alleyways and pristine example of a late Georgian working port, the last of its kind in the UK. Originally built to export copper and clay and import coal, today it remains completely unspoilt and is a fascinating place to wander around taking in the classic tall ships, and stopping off at one of the many excellent pubs and eateries lining the dock.
Walking up the hill from the dock you’ll find a maze of alleyways lined with shops and galleries as well as many more places to stop and eat, in fact, Charlestown has become quite a food hotspot in recent years with many excellent restaurants serving fresh local meat and seafood alongside well-renowned gastro pubs, cafes and delis.
Days out during your Charlestown holiday should definitely include a visit to the Shipwreck Treasure Museum on the quay. Here you’ll find not only information and displays on what life was like in Charlestown in centuries gone by, but also a huge collection of objects recovered from over 150 shipwrecks. Other days can be spent stretching your legs on the beautiful South West Coast Path where a short walk finds you at the fabulous beaches of Carlyon Bay, Porlkerris and Pentwan. Or alternatively hop in the car to visit The Eden Project or the Lost Gardens of Heligan, which are both within a 15-minute drive.
Add to all this the two pretty sandy beaches in the town itself and you’ll find that Charlestown provides the perfect location for a Cornish holiday packed full of history, excellent food, sightseeing and fabulous local beaches and scenery.
Generous double garage for two cars opposite the house. Please note that this property can accept a maximum allowance of two cars.

Charlestown Shipwreck and Heritage Centre
(Less than a mile)
(1)
An all-weather attraction where children go free, Charlestown Shipwreck Centre takes you back two hundred years, when the area was a tiny fishing village with no harbour. As trade boomed in nearby St Austell, it became clear that there was need for a proper harbour, and local businessman by the name of Charles Rashleigh set about making plans – hence the name (Charles’ town). Today the Shipwreck and Heritage Centre charts the history of this corner of Cornwall, including the ship wrecks off the nearby coast. There are trails, a visual audio theater, the RNLB Amelia which was last stationed at Scarborough, and a German armoured dress diving suit, which was used in the 1920/30's, amongst other pieces of history. There’s also a Kids’ Corner and plenty to see and do for the whole family.

Interesting for those prepared to engage with the stories presented. Very informative guidebook with plenty to read. The upstairs restaurant was far from great (we just went in for a coffee which was... unpleasant). We would say to ignore the discount which comes with the museum entry ticket and try one of the nearby cafes instead.
