Former Westgate Social Club in Grantham on the market for £89,000

A former social club building is on the market for nearly £90,000.

95A Westgate in Grantham is to go under the hammer in an online auction on Wednesday, November 6, with a guide price of £89,000.

The building used to be Westgate Social Club, but it has been empty since 2016.

Since then, it has been the target of several arsonist attacks and referred to as a “hotspot for crime and anti-social behaviour”.

In 2021, plans were submitted to partially demolish the building to build a two-storey back and roof extension, as well as change it from a drink establishment and assembly hall into 15 flats.

However, plans were refused by South Kesteven District Council in 2022 on the grounds the applicant failed to agree affordable housing contributions.

The building is described as a “large industrial unit”, separated into sections of two storey and three storey areas.
