Description

Govera Farmhouse, also known as Upper Govera Farmhouse, is a two-storey building with a single-depth plan and a single-storey rear outshut. The exterior is rendered and painted, likely over rubble stone, and features Welsh slate roofs. The main front elevation has five windows above three windows and two doors, with the doors located in the second and fourth bays. All windows are 19th-century small-paned casements with elliptical heads. The main door is Victorian, featuring two vertical glazed panels and a deep slated hood supported by brackets. The kitchen door to the right is a plank stable door without a hood. The roof has three stacks along the ridge; the left end stack is a later brick addition, indicating that the end room was originally an unheated dairy. The central stack is an old small parlour stack, while the right-hand end has an original four-flued kitchen stack. The older stacks are rendered.

The rear elevation originally had a continuous outshut with a cat-slide roof, but this has been extended in brick behind the kitchen and raised to two storeys behind the parlour, featuring casement windows. The interior was not available for inspection during the last survey in November 1996, but external evidence suggests a three-room plan with two heated rooms and an unheated dairy.
