They feature whitewashed rubble walls and a graduated green slate roof with brick chimney stacks. Keldside is two storeys high with three bays, while Keld Cottage has two bays and shares a common roof with Keldside. Keldside has an off-centre 20th-century door and casement windows, most of which are set in 18th-century painted stone surrounds. Keld Cottage has a boarded door in a stone surround beneath the dated lintel, with a three-light flat stone-mullioned window on the right and casement windows on the left, all in painted stone surrounds.
