Dawlish railway station is conveniently on the Exeter–Plymouth line, also connected to London Paddington.

HISTORY

The property was built in 1929. Its previous owner, who acquired the property in 1981, was a professor in botany and planted an incredible variety of trees and shrubs, resulting in a beautifully mature lush landscaping of the surrounding gardens.
