Plans to transform a County Durham building, which was originally constructed in 1860 and is currently used as a residential activities centre, into a wedding venue have been submitted.
Coldberry Hall Ltd wants to revamp and change the use of the grade II-listed Kingsway Adventure Centre, based on Alston Road in Middleton-in-Teesdale.
Originally built as a Victorian School by the London Lead Mining Company, the property is now occasionally used by school parties and youth groups.
A statement submitted with the plans said that it is "in need of financial investment to facilitate maintenance and general modernisation".
The building is set in a square plot with formal gardens to the front and off-street parking to the rear. A separate detached building is being retained by the current owner as a dwelling and is not included in the application.
