Description

Hind Keld East is a farmhouse, now a house, likely built in the early 18th century, with a date of 1729 noted on the side of the porch. The building is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and retains some whitewash, topped with a stone slate roof. It has a one-and-a-half depth, two-unit plan oriented on an east-west axis and facing south.

The exterior features three storeys and three windows arranged in a 2:1 grouping. The ground floor includes a low gabled porch, which is below the steeply-pitched water-tabling of a formerly higher gable. A square datestone inscribed "B.H / 1729" is built into the right-hand side wall, likely re-set. To the left of the porch are two 2-light windows, and to the right is a 3-light window, all with square-cut surrounds and flat-faced mullions, accompanied by continuous stone slate drip-courses. The first floor has similar window arrangements, while the second floor features three slightly smaller 2-light windows. There are corbelled chimneys at both gables, with the left one being larger. The left gable wall has through-stones and two inserted windows at the ground floor. A later barn is attached to the east end.

At the rear, the building is two-storeyed under a catslide roof, with a doorway, a small blocked segmental-headed window on the first floor to the left, and two inserted windows on each floor. A corbelled chimney is located halfway up the east side, and there are two inserted skylights in the roof.

Inside, the former housepart to the left has two lateral beams, with an inserted lateral partition to create an entrance passage. The parlour to the right features two axial beams. The upper-cruck roof truss carries purlins made from re-used cruck timbers. Hind Keld East forms a group with West Hind Keld, located approximately 75 meters to the west.
