GARSDALE

SD79SW HAWES ROAD
162-1/7/263 (North side (off))
Hind Keld West

GV II

Small farmhouse, with attached store and outbuilding, now
dwelling. Probably early C18, outbuilding added probably in
C19; altered. Random rubble with through-stones and quoins,
graduated stone slate roof. Built with its back to the lane,
on a small sloping spur of ground closely skirted by a beck.
L-plan formed by single-depth 2-unit main range with rear
outshut to left half, store at right-hand end, plus
outbuilding added at left end.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 3:1 windows, with a boulder plinth. The
main range has a central doorway with C20 board door protected
by a stone porch with mono-pitched roof and inner side bench,
flanked by small rectangular windows on each floor, and to the
left of those to the left a narrow fire-window on each floor
(all these windows with renewed joinery); and a corbelled
chimney at the left gable. The store continued to the right
has a doorway at ground floor and a window above. The added
outbuilding, down the slope to the left, is single-storeyed,
has a doorway close to the junction, and a small rear
extension containing a former privy over a pigsty. Rear: small
outshut under catslide roof; various small windows.
INTERIOR: now one vessel at ground floor (C20 wooden partition
removed); 5 lateral beams, including one at west end probably
formerly a smokehood bressumer, with exposed joists, those
between the 1st and 2nd beams with stopped small chamfer, and
many others resting on packing-pieces rather than tenoned into
the beams. Large rectangular fireplace at west end with stone
jambs and timber lintel, recess for former spice cupboard to
left of this, another recess at ground level to right; smaller
rectangular stone fireplace at east end, with corbelled
lintel. Dairy with stone shelves; stone stairs; 2 principal
rafter roof trusses, that to the west with tie-beam severed.
Small but good example of plan-form typical of the late C17
and early C18 in this dale. Forms a group with Hind Keld East
(qv) which is approx. 75m to the east.
