The owners of a Georgian-Victorian mansion have applied to "make it official" and turn it into a wedding venue.A planning application has been put in by owners of the Grade II-listed Berwick House in Shrewsbury to change its use from a family home.
A design and access statement says:"Berwick House, within the Berwick Estate, has been owned by the family of the client for the past 150 years. It is a predominantly Victorian house, designed with large function rooms and extensive bedroom suites for hosting large parties and events. It has been exclusively used as a private family home with no public visitors since the early 20th Century.
The statement adds:"Being a ‘boutique’ venue, the client will be limiting the number of events per month and offering a bespoke curated service; it is envisaged that around two weddings per month may be held, typically in the region of 120 guests, with rarer peak events of up to 200 guests. External changes will include signage, passing places for cars on the drive leading up to the property and an overflow car park, while inside the owners want to convert seven rooms into en-suite bathrooms, add safety measures such as handrails and remove damaged wallpaper.
