A Lake District restaurant is on the market for £795,000.
Villa Positano in Bowness-on-Windermere is a popular Mediterranean-style restaurant.
Originally built as the changing rooms for the local school, now known as Laurel Cottage, the property has been extensively renovated and sympathetically extended by Arcangelo & Claire Cutolo, who acquired the business in 1993.
The space now includes a fully equipped catering kitchen, a generous rear yard with walk-in fridge and storage facilities, and a two-bedroom self-contained apartment.
Operating five evenings a week, the business generates a turnover of £426,022 with trading profits of £107,794.
Haydn Spedding, of Colliers’ Hotels Agency team, is looking after the sale.
He said: “Villa Positano represents a fantastic opportunity to take on a thriving lifestyle business in one of the UK’s most desirable tourism hotspots.
“The current owners have created something really special here, a restaurant with warmth, character, and loyal clientele, and there’s still huge scope for expansion, particularly through increased opening hours and digital presence.”
