Nice size plot, I expect it will be snatched up by a developer to build on. Doubt the house and grounds will be there for long. Also it states in the Dawlish Gazette that it has planning approval for an additional four bed building, although no mention of this on the Teignbridge planning site!
£1,200,000 sounds a bit excessive considering it's in Dawlish. I can think of a lot more affluent places I would invest that sort of money on a property.
Re the planning approval for an extra house in the grounds. Found this on TDC's planning website.
