Googling shows that there were seaside 'chalets' of various forms and sizes , some more like cottages, from c 1920s onwards, including on a site named Riviere Towans.

I'm wondering if it is, or was, one of those, especially given the slightly fanciful name.

Researching:
Eayres (Northants/London) Walker (Surrey) Loveday (Northants) Moore (Tipperary)

Postcode Finder comes up with 9 addresses in UPTON Towans.

A lot can change in 70 years!!

The Towans is a three-mile stretch of beach

"Tiranoque" sounds like a corruption or mis-spelling of Tir Nan Og.
Is it a house, hotel, what?
Was it actually in Hayle? Or one of the neighbouring villages?
Do you know the name of the street (if any)?

Nothing coming up on Google - I expect the name has been changed.

Where did you come across the name?

Ian - google google google, then try newspapers for that time. Use google street view to see if it is stil there - possibly not with that name.

That is all anyone else can do.
