Building 52: Coach House, Stables, Laundry, and Boiler House
The complex of buildings immediately to the south-east of Prudhoe Hall itself includes the stables and coach house buildings, originally built in the 1870s as part of the Prudhoe Hall estate; they remain Grade II listed buildings (List Entry No. 1376815). The stables and coach house have been subject to multiple alterations, including by both generations of the Liddell’s in the 1890s, and by Colonel Swan after 1904, when the service yard was expanded to include the a motor-car house.
The stables and coach house are built to courtyard plan, with a service yard entered via a round-headed arched gateway under a pediment. They are composed of sandstone block, of the same finish as Prudhoe Hall, with Westmorland slate roofs. The complex was converted to a laundry in 1920, and a power station added to the north-west flank in 1920-21. Both the laundry and the boiler plant were expanded and updated as part of the late 1950s improvements. The additions were composed of reconstituted stone, single-storey, most with ridge ventilators and lanterns.
These buildings were not accessible during the historic building recording due to health and safety considerations; Appendix 2: section 5.14, provides a detailed description and account of the conditions of the stables, coach house, laundry and boiler plant buildings with internal views.
