Description

Location

The Old Town House occupies a prominent position on Wendover High Street, directly opposite the landmark Clock Tower. Wendover is a highly sought-after Buckinghamshire town, nestled at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, and benefits from a thriving High Street offering a mix of independent shops, restaurants, and services.

The town has excellent transport connections, with Wendover mainline station (London Marylebone in around 50 minutes) and easy access to the A41, M25 and M40. Wendover’s popularity with both residents and visitors ensures high visibility and footfall for businesses trading in the town centre.

History
The site has been of central importance to Wendover life for over 500 years. Originally home to the Market House built in 1490, the building was replaced in 1615 by The Town House, serving as the town hall until 1850. After a brief period of disuse, the site became home to the Literary Institute in 1863, designed by architect William Wilkinson of Oxford.

The building closed in 1969 and reopened in 1970 as offices, regaining its old name of The Town House. Now known as The Old Town House, it has been used commercially ever since, firstly as a dental practice and now as a hairdressing and beauty salon. Remarkably, this is the first time the property has been available on the open market since 1975 – marking half a century of continuous ownership.
