Main farmhouse was replaced by the late 19th century by a new house to the west of the farm. Most of the existing buildings are at least 19th century or earlier.

Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
South Brentor depicted on the Tithe Map; 1356 and 1358 on the Lamerton Apportionment. Two houses depicted; one on the eastern side of the farm, with adjoining building to the south, the other a roughly rectangular farmhouse (with a number of extensions / lean-tos indicated) aligned north-south in the centre of the farmyard. A further long rectangular block of farm buildings border the western side of the yard.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
By the late 19th century, the original farmhouse is gone and has been replaced with a square house set to the west of the farm. Also, the other farm buildings have been altered, including the construction of a range of buildings fronting the yard to the north, joined to the house, which may have changed in use to agricultural use (due to its surrounding working structures).
