Description

Solid country house with big barn and plot of land located in a quiet village 15 km away from Vratsa, Bulgaria. The house has two floors. The ground level consists of big hallway, corridor and spacious living room with kitchenette. Over the solid, internal, spiral staircase, made of beautifully carved white stone blocks, one can get to the second floor. Here you enter into a short corridor which provides access to two bedrooms and balcony looking at the backyard. The master bedroom has a small terrace which provides panoramic overview at the surrounding area – the main road, small stream, park and the neighboring houses. Above the second floor is the attic which provides additional space. There are small storage room and two other premises here which can be transformed into additional living area. The internal staircase connects all floors including the attic and the basement which is beneath the living room. The wide hallway located on the ground floor can be transformed into additional living area or into normal size corridor, bathroom & toilet. The garden is located at the back of the house. The plot of land is divided in two sections – bigger piece (which holds both buildings – house and barn, as well as some small bit of land) and smaller (which has several fruit trees in it and provides some open space). The barn is very big and provides plenty of space. It has two floors with two big premises on each level. The second floor also has a terrace with nice panoramic views towards the neighboring area and the distant mountain range. Both the house and the barn have plenty of stone in their structures. The previous owner was a skilled craftsman who worked well with stone and marble. He was a shareholder in a quarry located in the area and with materials from there and by using his own skills he made beautiful ornaments and ware from the available materials. All of these he integrated into the structures of the buildings and the fence surrounding the property. The house was built in 1936 and resembles an architectural style dating back to the times before WW 2. The property stands out among all other buildings around it. It is situated near a small park with public fountains and a small stream coming down from the hills. The village where the house is situated is located about 10 km away from a small town (the center of the local council) and 15 km away from the regional capital for this area - Vratsa. The near town provides hospital, dental care, police station, fire station, shops and supermarkets, gas stations, primary and secondary schools, kindergartens, banks and ATM, restaurants and bars, disco, a few coffee shops, farmer`s market every Thursday, bus station and train station. This town is a railway junction and provides frequent and cheap connection over rail to the regional center Vratsa, the national capital city Sofia, the Black sea coast, the area around Veliko Tarnovo and many other places across Bulgaria. Local buses travel several times a day between the town and the village thus providing cheap and easy connection. The area around is mainly hills and fields. Not far away one can go fishing at the local lake while the Iskar river, one of the biggest rivers in Bulgaria, passes about 10 km south from the village. Solid rural property with unique architecture and character waiting for new owners.
