The small village of Colvend, just 2.5 miles along the A710, is home to an excellent village store, cafe, an 18-hole golf course, and the highest-rated primary school along the Solway Coast. The nearby town of Dalbeattie has a useful range of shops, cafes, hotels, restaurants, veterinary services, primary and secondary schools, health centre, solicitors, and a park. Castle Douglas, a market town known as Dumfries and Galloway’s Food Town, has in addition, many independent retailers, a thriving livestock market, and an eighteen hole golf course. The regional capital, Dumfries, (around 18 miles east) provides a wider range of services including a major hospital, the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary. The town, once the home of the National Bard and Ploughman Poet Rabbie Burns, is now home to the Crichton campuses of Glasgow University and the University of the West of Scotland
DESCRIPTION
Birchwood is an ideal family home in one of the most sought after areas of the region. Characterised by clean lines softened by and contrasting with the surrounding wooded garden, Birchwood has well laid out and thoughtful accommodation. A good sized dining kitchen, featuring Neff integrated appliances, is at the heart of the ground floor and opens directly into the airy triple aspect sitting room, all with fitted folding and louvred wooden blinds. A cosy dining room, offering great flexibility specific to the buyers needs, completes the reception accommodation. To one end of the ground floor, a studio apartment allows for multi-generational living and/or earning potential. Three spacious bedrooms including a master en suite, and a family bathroom are found on the first floor.
The grounds surrounding Birchwood are extensive yet complement the property beautifully and create a private site.
There is potential within the grounds for further accommodation to be built, subject to obtaining planning permission, and used for holiday letting to provide income.

GARDEN (AND GROUNDS)
A wooden bar gate opens to a gravel driveway, ending in large sweep with parking for several cars. Bound by a post and rail fence, the garden is mainly to the front of the house, with areas around the sides and rear. There are areas laid to grass with a wonderful spring display of daffodils, as well as numerous mature specimen trees and shrubs including oak, beech, silver birch, spruce, larch, cherry and gunnera. Bluebells abound in early summer. A pond sits in a natural area to one side of the driveway, hosting a wide range of insects and butterflies. The wooded nature of the garden gives a sense of privacy and peace and although the house is stylishly modern, gives it a sense of being established and settled.
