A CLOSED and vacant former Cheshire village social club has been listed up for sale on the property market.
The Bridgewater Club, on Whitbarrow Road in Lymm, is described as being ‘ideal for residential development’ subject to planning permission, as well as its existing commercial use.
With 2,300 square-feet of space and the ‘potential for extra floors’, the former Lymm Conservative Club building closed its doors in late 2022.
It has since suffered damage from a burst water pipe and has become a target for anti-social behaviour, but it is now on the market for offers in excess of £400,000
Estate agents Morgan Williams say the freehold building is in an ‘excellent, idyllic and secluded’ location, within easy reach of the village centre and with a ‘scenic outlook’ along Bridgewater Canal.
