This station was opened as "Castle Hill", being named after a local mansion owned by Earl Fortescue.
A single platform was provided on the north side of the line with passenger facilities in a stone building.
A small goods yard and goods shed were at the west end of the station.
It was renamed 'Filleigh' on 1 January 1881 after the nearby village so as to avoid confusion with Castle Hill station in London (which itself has since been renamed West Ealing).

It remained a single-platform station through 1876 and 1902 capacity improvements along the line, but on 20 June 1937 was given a passing loop and second platform, although no shelter was provided for this.
The original signal box at the east end of the original platform was replaced at the same time by one in the goods yard.
The goods yard was closed from 3 August 1964 and the signal box and loop likewise on 6 September 1964.
After closure to passengers the station building was used as a house until it was demolished when the North Devon Link Road was built through the site.
