A highly attractive and versatile freehold property with exceptional scope - comprising a long-standing, successful off-licence business with self-contained residential accommodation.
Superbly located in the heart of one of Buckinghamshire's most desirable villages, Lane End, this rare offering represents an outstanding lifestyle, commercial and investment opportunity - just minutes from the renowned riverside town of Marlow, with excellent road links to High Wycombe, London, and the M40.
Location - Lane End is a charming and well-connected village favoured by professionals, families, and commuters alike - offering a true blend of countryside living and urban accessibility. Surrounded by open green spaces, boutique amenities and well-regarded schools, the property occupies a prominent position on Park Lane - the village's main thoroughfare - ensuring excellent visibility, consistent footfall, and a loyal local customer base.
Its close proximity to Marlow, Henley-on-Thames, and High Wycombe further enhances its appeal, making this a rare chance to secure a mixed-use freehold in a prime semi-rural setting.
The Business - Strong Foundations With Clear Growt - Trading as Cans Off Licence, the business has been a trusted part of the local landscape for over 50 years - with the current owners running it for the past four decades. Operating on a relaxed, part-time basis to suit lifestyle preferences, it generates a steady weekly turnover of around �7,000 with excellent gross profit margins of circa 25%.
With limited opening hours, no additional staff, and a loyal customer base already in place, there is significant headroom for expansion - whether through increased trading hours, extended product lines, or modernisation of the service offering.
For an ambitious operator or investor, this represents an exciting opportunity to unlock the full commercial potential of a business in an unbeatable location.
