South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.
Marked on the Lydford Tithe Map as a tenement at Hexworthy; 1114 on the Apportionment. 'Dwelling house and gardens', owned and occupied by Philip Michelmore. The single dwelling is a rectangular building aligned north-west by south-east at right angles to the lane that borders the plot on the eastern side. Two small structures adjoin it on the south-western side, at the north-west and south-eastern ends.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
By the later 19th century, the farm has developed and has three new ranges of buildings shown, bordering the farm on the north, south and western sides. The farmhouse may have been altered/extended by this time.

Farmstead included in survey. Visited on 04/03/1997.
Ordnance Survey, 2018, MasterMap 2018 (Cartographic). SDV360652.
The modern mapping shows the layout of the farm is largely unchanged since the late 19th century, and it's possible that a certain amount of historic fabric has been retained in the surviving buildings.
