Property situated in a very picturesque village with long and interesting history. The village is part of Veliko Tarnovo District, and offers all the basic utilities such as a post-office, several shops, pubs, cafes, etc. A regular bus transport to the surronding towns is also provided.
The property shown is located near the village' center. It is a solid, brick-built, single-storeyed house. The first part of the house comprises of glazed entrance-hall, a kitchen, a big room and an inner bathroom, which is a big advantage and provides much comfort for living.
Outer cement stairs are leading to the second part of the house. It offers another glazed entrance-hall, three rooms, a corridor and a closet. As there is plenty of space bricking-up another inner bathroom would be no problem. A lot of charm to the house is bringing the veranda in front of the second floor. It provides stunning views to the surrondings.
Yet there is an attic having the same floorage as the second part of the house. This is a great opportunity of turning it into additional living area with its own bathroom for example.
Underneath the house is the cellar. It could be used by its original purpose- as a storage, or it could easily be transformed into anything else (a nice authentic tavern or a winery for example).
Outside the house is the yard. Spreading over 2078 sq.m. of land (divided by the house in two equal parts-infront and at the back of the house), well-kept and absolutely plane, it provides numerous opportunities. Bulding-in a swiming-pool is an excellent idea of what it could become. This would bring much more charm to the property. At the moment there are beautiful flower and fruit gardens, lots of fruit trees and trellis vines.
Most of the Bulgarian rural houses have lots of farm-buildings. This one does not make an exception. There are a barn, a granary, big two-storeyed hay-loft, pigsties, penthouse and hen-houses. All these could be used by their original purpose, or could easily be transformed into anything else (e.g. Additional living area, playing rooms, workshops, BBQ area, etc.).
The property is located on the corner of one of the village's main streets and another smaller street. The main street is asphalt-paved in very good condition. A huge advantage of the estate is the presence of a big garage. Another plus is the big double-sized iron gate, giving the chance of parking up to four more cars into the yard.
Water and electricity are connected to mains, Cable TV and Internet could easily be provided. There are water fountains inside the house and outside in the yard. The property is in overall very good condition, but for more comfort would naturally need some renovation work.
About the village
