1 Bridgend, Caulkerbush, Southwick

Well-presented characterful semi-detached home on the Solway Coast which has been thoughtfully renovated to a high standard throughout by the current owners. Early viewing highly recommended.

Well served by the local towns of Dumfries (16 miles), Dalbeattie (7 miles) and
Castle Douglas (15 miles), this home combines a superb location with convenient
travel routes. The towns provide a good mix of main amenities, local independent
shops and supermarkets. Dumfries is approximately 1.5 hours car journey from
Glasgow and the train station provides convenient rail links North and South on
the Glasgow South Western Line. Nearer to hand is the village of Colvend, with
a convenience store, café and rural Primary School. Towards Dumfries there are
rural Primary Schools in Kirkbean and New Abbey, with Secondary education
accessed by bus in Dalbeattie and Dumfries.

The surrounding coastal area provides access to a wealth of outdoor pursuits such
as sailing at Kippford on the Urr estuary, relaxing by the sea at Sandyhills Beach,
and golf at both the Colvend parkland course and Southerness championship
links course. Mersehead RSPB nature reserve, with its unspoilt beach, together
with the nearby Wildcat Wood and Mares Braids waterfall provide stunning
walks within easy reach. Three of the “7stanes” Mountain biking trail centres
(Ae, Mabie and Dalbeattie) are less than 45 minutes’ drive. The community run
Lawn Tennis Club is also within walking distance of 1 Bridgend.
