Possibly part of the Domesday manor of Crediton, the earliest documentary reference to Knowle is in 1281. A dwelling is shown on the site on a terrier map of 1598. The present farmhouse and Knowle Farm Cottages are much modified 16th century structures. The farm is shown on Ordnance Survey maps of the early 19th century and the Tithe Map of 1841 shows the farmhouse and the yard to the west enclosed by outbuildings on three sides. There are also two detached buildings to the north-west. Comparison with the 1886 Ordnance Survey map shows that the farmbuildings underwent modification and rebuilding in the latter half of the 19th century.
