Lucca Restaurant & Bar, 20 High Street, Wendover, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP22 6EA

A popular restaurant in a charming market town, Lucca restaurant & bar focuses on modern Italian cuisine and is a popular venue due to the building's charm and the welcoming service. The building is Grade II listed with a range of original architectural features.

Due to its convenient location the building could be used for a range of alternative uses including offices, retail or residential (STPP). The property also has a separate two bedroom flat with its own rear access.

Lucca is located on Wendover High Street in an appealing and convenient location. The property has a large public car park directly opposite and is a short walk to a mainline train station.

Wendover is known as the 'gateway to the Chilterns' so attracts a large number of people visiting the area for the beautiful surroundings, as well as being a popular area to live thanks to the short commute on the Aylesbury to Marylebone train line.

Wendover lies in short driving distance to several affluent towns including Aylesbury, Berkhamsted and Chesham.

Six bedrooms in total over two floors above the restaurant partly comprised of a separate managers flat with its own access at the rear. There is also a bathroom, an office and several storage areas.

Lucca is a well established business that could easily transfer to a new owner, but the property would also work well as a new concept in this thriving market town. A new style of bar/cafe/restaurant would appeal to the local community or an alternative use entirely, subject to the necessary planning consent. The property would work well as office space, retail, health/beauty, or mixed use with accommodation/HMO over the first and second floors.

If sold as a going concern then contracted staff would need to be transferred under TUPE.

The restaurant trades at an annual income of c.£350k. More detailed account information can be made available to seriously interested parties.
