Beresford’s Restaurant and Bar on the market for £1.25m

Beresford’s Restaurant and Bar in Windermere has been put up for sale off a guide price of £1.25m for the freehold.

Positioned on the corner of Lake Road and Beresford Road, the restaurant is a well-established business in a prime location.

The current owner, Graham Bowness, is looking to retire after 21 years, handing the business over to someone seeking a new venture.

The modern restaurant and bar boasts a dining area serving 50 covers, decorated throughout to suit the rustic charm of the Lake District surroundings.

An external patio can seat a further 20 people, and the basement bar seats up to 30 people, ideal for private functions.

The property also contains two charming residential apartments on the first floor, each containing a living room, kitchen and two bedrooms, ideal for staff accommodation or to generate additional rental income.

Alternatively, the restaurant and bar is available for purchase without the apartments for a guide price of £675,000.

Marslie McGregor, pubs and restaurants agent at Christie and Co, said: “This is a rare opportunity to acquire a trading business with residential accommodation in one of the UK’s most sought-after locations.

“Windermere and Bowness attract thousands of tourists every year. I have no doubt that this site will be of interest to someone wishing to establish a restaurant/bar in a popular tourist area, or an investor looking to expand their portfolio.”
