Brentor railway station is located approximately 0.5 kilometre south-east of North Brentor on the former London and South West Railway Company line between Okehampton and Plymouth. A separate line operated by Great Western Rail ran parallel. The station opened in 1890 and closed in 1968. Following the closure, the tracks and signal box were removed.
The Station House is now a private dwelling but the platforms, ticket office, waiting room and down-line canopy, up-line waiting room, toilets, maintenance shed, siding and cattle loading dock are understood to survive.
This non-designated heritage asset has historical, aesthetic and communal value.
