Summary
Farmstead dates to at least the early-mid 16th century, based on the age of the farmhouse, which is listed and has been rebuilt after a collapse in the 1930s. Documentary sources date back to the mid-13th century. Depicted on the Tithe Map, most of the buildings were modernised and changed in the late 19th century, but the layout is broadly unchanged.

Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Depicted on the Throwleigh Tithe Map. Farmstead consists of a large farmhouse on the north-western side, with range of farm buildings joined on the south-eastern side, surrounding a courtyard. Separate barn at the north-eastern end of the farm.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century historic map shows the buildings to have all been changed, except for the barn to the north of the farm. Listing records state that the farmhouse was modernised at this time, which the map evidence supports. The farm buildings also appear to have been changed and are shown as a much narrower range of buildings on this version of the historic mapping.
