The old vicarage, Weech Road, Dawlish
Given its former ecclesiastical use and grade II listing (list entry 1164525) it is surprising that this building has been allowed to get into such a state of ruin. But it was already said to be in a poor state, though still roofed, in 2008 Image The listing describes it as 'House, probably late C17 or early C18. and associated stable and gig or coach house'.

The Old Vicarage, Weech Road, Dawlish
"The owner of a crumbling grade two listed building in Teignbridge faces legal action unless something is done to stop the building collapsing. The Old Vicarage in Weech Road, Dawlish, is owned by a London man and has been empty for 20 years. The property was listed in 1951 as a grade two building of special architectural and historic importance. The original house is thought to date from the 17th century and a later wing was added in 1846. It is constructed of traditional Devon cob with a slate roof, historic trusses and stable pavers. The property is a good example of a simple but historic curtilage building, and is situated close to the Dawlish Conservation Area. But now there are holes in the roof, pigeons live in the loft space, the windows are broken and part of the ground floor is missing" http://www.dawlish.com/News/Legal-threat-1673.aspx The above piece appeared in 2005; the full account of the situation then is at http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/media/pdf/a/5/EX2005_June_13_Rep_Weech_Road_Dawlish.pdf . Little seems to have changed. According to http://www.devon.gov.uk/walk86-dawlishdiscoverywalk.pdf , "many years ago there was an idea to run a railway line around the back of Dawlish and this building was earmarked as the potential station."

A view from Empsons Hill. The building in a sad state towards the left is also shown at Image It is listed as "13, Weech Road and former gig house" https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1164525 , "gig" as in "coach". See https://dawlish.com/thread/details/44940 . http://web.archive.org/web/2016*/http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/media/pdf/a/5/EX2005_June_13_Rep_Weech_Road_Dawlish.pdf has the following "A recent inspection has revealed that the main building and outbuilding still require works to make them wind and weatherproof and prevent collapse. The main building has holes in the roof, dry rot, unsecured open windows and doors and internally has part of the first floor missing. There is running water through the roof and rising and penetrating damp. The unoccupied outbuilding is constructed of cob with slate roof, historic trusses and stable pavers. It is a good example of a simple but historic curtilage building. Sections of the outbuildings cob wall have degraded to an extent that partial collapse is possible." To the right is St Gregory's church, grade II* listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1164203 .
