South Brent station was opened in 1848, initially just serving the small town of South Brent. It became a junction in 1893 when the line to Kingsbridge opened.
The station comprised of an island platform on the down side serving the main line and the Kingsbridge branch. The signal box was set on this platform. The goods yard was also on the downside. The up platform served housed the main station building.
In 1963 the line to Kingsbridge closed sounding the death bell for South Brent station which closed in 1964.
Today much of the station has gone. The signal box is out of use but still standing, and the goods shed houses a dentists practice.
