The station was opened by the North Devon Railway on 1 August 1854. The railway was single track. Although there was a passing loop at Umberleigh there was only a platform on the western track during the first few years. The main goods yard and cattle pens were on this side of the line at the south end of the station. A goods shed with a 2 ton crane was situated on a short siding at the other end of the platform. There was another short siding beyond the road bridge which also had a crane which could lift 5 tons. A signal box was opened on 1 October 1873 but this was replaced on 19 October 1890 when the line towards Barnstaple was given a second track. The goods yard closed on 4 January 1965. The line was singled and the signal box closed on 21 May 1971. A camping coach was available for hire in the main goods yard from 1935 to 1939 and again from 1962 to 1964. Description

The single platform, which is long enough for a 7 coach train, is on the west side of the track. There is a waiting shelter for passengers but the former station master's house is in private use.
