Property details
The Miners Arms is a large corner property located close to the centre of Workington. It is a prominent site, close to a busy roundabout on the A596 which runs through the centre of the town. Workington is a coastal town located on the west coast of Cumbria on the mouth of the River Derwent, 32 miles west of Carlisle, 8 miles north of Whitehaven, and 7 miles west of Cockermouth. Comprising a population of approximately 25,000 residents, Workington is a town that is primarily working class and has a higher percentage of residents over the age of 55 than the national average. The town is seeing a resurgence in its nightlife, with the recent opening of Bees Knees around the corner from the Miners Arms, and a number of other refurbishments in pubs and bars around the area. There is also a levelling-up grant of £10m set aside to improve infrastructure and employment in the Workington area that will filter through in the coming years.
Upon entering through the main door to the front of the premises, customers can turn right into the lounge area of the pub, which hosts a small bar, a mixture of fixed and loose low-level seating, and a fire for those cozy evenings. Turning left, the customers are welcomed into the sports area. This is home to the pool table with walls adorned with TVs showing televised sports. Following round to the back of the pub there’s a larger well-stocked bar area with low-level fixed seating, loose tables and chairs and a darts throw.
At the rear of the pub, there is a beautiful beer garden complete with a patio area with seating for approximately 20 customers and a parking area for 3-4 cars.
There are two floors of private accommodation, consisting of four bedrooms, living room, bathroom and kitchen.

It is a local community pub that is renowned for showing televised sports and hosting live acts and entertainment at weekends. It has a very loyal customer base and has both darts and pool teams that use the pub during the week for their league matches. It also has a football team based on the pub that uses the pub at weekends, particularly post-match on a Sunday.
The landlords' vision for the Miners Arms is to capitalise on new footfall to the area by breathing new life into this well-established pub, building on the pub’s already fantastic foundations, introducing a strong marketing plan, incorporating social media and creating the best community local in the area. With a new licensee and some potential investment, they envisage the Miners Arms as providing a haven for locals and visitors, providing a friendly welcome, a great rhythm of the week, and a fantastic retail offer, making it THE best place to catch up with friends at weekends.
