Description
Low Skerningham is a late 18th and early 19th century combined cottage and stable, with an added wash-house and privy. The building is constructed of painted brick, with some rubble walling in the stable section, and has pantiled roofs and old brick chimney stacks. It is a single-storey linear range. The cottage section to the left has four 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash windows and a partly-glazed door to the right. The stable, now used for storage, features ventilation holes in a chequerboard pattern and a replaced boarded door. The building has stepped eaves and a continuous steeply-pitched roof with stacks at the left end and along the ridge. A wash-house is located on the left return of the cottage, featuring a Dutch door and a steeply-pitched roof with a ridge stack. Attached to the wash-house is a privy with a boarded door and a lean-to roof. A ruinous two-bay cart shed at the centre of the rear is not of architectural interest.
