A Grade II listed building housing Lucca Restaurant & Bar in Wendover is now on the market.

The property, located on High Street, is priced at £895,000.

The property, which has a total gross internal area of 4,300 square feet, is currently a popular Italian restaurant, known for its modern cuisine.

The estate agent, Christie & Co, suggests the building could be used for a range of alternative uses including offices, retail, or residential, subject to planning permission.

The property includes a separate two-bedroom flat with its own rear access.

The restaurant, which can accommodate 20 people in the bar and 60 in the dining area, is described by the estate agent as having a "welcoming service" and charm owing to its status as a Grade II listed building.

The property retains a range of original architectural features.

The restaurant has a large, well-equipped commercial kitchen, several storage areas, and a ground floor beer cellar.

The accommodation also includes six bedrooms in total over two floors above the restaurant, partly comprised of a separate manager's flat with its own access at the rear.

There is also a bathroom, an office, and several storage areas.

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

The estate agent highlights the "excellent investment opportunity" the property presents.

The agent said: "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, the contracted staff would need to be transferred under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations.

According to the estate agent, the restaurant trades at an annual income of approximately £350,000.

More detailed account information can be made available to seriously interested parties.

The property trades Tuesday to Sunday and is closed on Monday.

The property is located in a convenient and appealing location on Wendover High Street, with 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' and attracts a large number of people visiting the area for its beautiful surroundings.
