Depiction of this farm on the modern map shows little to have changed from the mid-19th century map depiction. Modern farm buildings have been added to the south and east of the site and some alterations have occurred to other buildings, including the farmhouse, which has been extended to the east.

Vogwell Farm, Manaton SX 7226 8168. The Heatree Leat was extended to Vogwell where a mill (allegedly a saw mill) was established in the late 19th century with an overshot waterwheel. Site was a farm in 1901 and when advertised to let in 1912 it was described as having 'water-powered machinery'. The mill barn remains today; the belt drives have been stripped out and the wheel pit filled in.
