The Cornish Choughs is a charming Grade II listed public house, dating back to the late 18th century. Constructed from traditional granite rubble and featuring distinctive sash windows and twin chimneys, the building exudes historic character and local heritage. Inside, the pub retains a wealth of period features, including a stone fireplace complete with a rare historic spit mechanism. The single-bar layout is cleverly zoned to create a variety of seating areas, with a raised section offering a more intimate space for dining or quiet conversation. The overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a real fire hearth adding to the cosy and relaxed ambiance. Externally, the property benefits from a small rear car park suitable for a handful of vehicles. Conveniently located close to the A3047 and A30, and just a short distance from Camborne town centre, the pub is ideally positioned to attract a mix of custom. Regular daytime trade comes from nearby light industrial zones, the adjacent Premier Inn, passing motorists, and a loyal local following, including many retired residents. With its rich history, traditional appeal, and strong location, The Cornish Choughs presents a unique opportunity in a character-filled setting.
The pub features a single bar area, but it's subdivided into several distinct drinking and seating zones totalling approx. 50 covers. One of these is a raised section, which doubles as a separate dining area. Often described as pleasant and cosy, the interior includes a stone fireplace, which is a popular spot during colder months. The ladies and gents toilets are well positioned and the bar area leads out on to a courtyard beer garden with a number of pub benches and brollies. The pub is well decorated in a traditional manner and is all in very good order. The trade kitchen can be accessed from behind the bar which is great for the service to the trade areas. The kitchen is fully equipped and compliant for a full traditional pub menu to be delivered.
The private accommodation has two large bedrooms, kitchen and a bathroom.
A staircase from the bar takes you up to the three well appointed ensuite letting bedrooms which are fully equipped and are currently marketed through Booking.com.
