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

Formerly operating as Lucca Restaurant & Bar, the property established a strong reputation for its modern Italian cuisine and welcoming atmosphere.

Although the business is now closed, the premises retain considerable character and appeal, occupying a Grade II listed building featuring a wealth of original architectural features.

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.

A welcoming bar area from the high street entrance (20).
Two dining areas with a total of c.60 covers.
A large, well equipped commercial kitchen to the rear with separate wash up.
Several storage areas and ground floor beer cellar.

Commercial fixtures included in the inventory will be part of the sale. On a new lease basis, offers are sought for remining F&F.

Due to its High Street location there is little external trade space. Parking in a large public car park directly opposite the restaurant.

Five bedrooms in total over two floors above the restaurant with a bathroom, an office and several storage areas.

Separate to this is a newly refurbished one bedroom flat with its own access that is currently rented out. It has been redecorated to a very high standard.

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.

No staff to transfer.

Currently closed, the premises have a proven trading history and were formerly operated as a well-supported restaurant.

Currently closed
