The Collins Arms is reputed to be the oldest hostelry in Redruth dating back to the 17th century, during which time it has undoubtedly witnessed the economic rise and fall in the fortunes of tin and copper mining in its’ neighbourhood. The facade of the deceptively large premises bears a wide arched doorway, which may indicate an old coaching connection. There are many character features with a refurbished public bar of 40.7sq.m., games room and 3 letting bedrooms. The landlord is accommodated within separate, one bedroomed accommodation, but in addition, there is a further self contained flat and a self contained bed-sit, both to the rear. Outside is a rear courtyard, which houses the designated smoking area. The business stands on a main thoroughfare within a closely populated residential area and as a result enjoys considerable local goodwill within a substantial static community. The public house, which is coming to the market for the first time in 7 years, currently runs 7 darts teams, 3 pool teams and a euchre team. The turnover is predominantly wet led with a 95%/5% trading split. Graham Timmins of Miller Commercial’s Hotel, Licensed & Leisure Dept comments, ‘For anyone seeking a classic community pub in a town in Cornwall, then the Collins Arms at Redruth deserves an early viewing.
