Old country house with a barn in a large village, 60 km northeast of Vratsa

Six or seven minutes on foot is all it takes to get from this old country house to the village centre, with its café-bar, grocery stores and park. The house stands in a quiet part of a large village 60 km northeast of Vratsa, about 300 m from a small river, with an old barn further back in the yard. Many of the neighbouring houses are empty or used only seasonally, and the village is surrounded by hills and fields with no industry for miles.

The house has two floors, with two bedrooms and a living room with kitchenette. It has stood empty for many years, so it will need some time and money to bring it back to a good, usable state. For a buyer who wants a country property to shape into a rural retreat, that leaves plenty of room to make it their own.

Key facts:
• Old country house with a barn in the yard
• Two floors linked by a short external staircase
• Two bedrooms
• Living room with kitchenette
• Three rooms and a corridor on the ground floor
• Running water, electricity and a well with fresh water
• Quiet location within the village, 300 m from a small river
• Village centre 6–7 minutes away on foot
• Needs time and investment to bring it back to a good, usable state

The house:
The two levels are joined by a short external staircase. Upstairs, an entrance hall opens onto a corridor that leads to the two bedrooms and to the living room with its kitchenette, which is the everyday living space. Below, a corridor serves three rooms that once worked as basement and storage rooms, and they could be handy for storage again. Running water and electricity are connected, and a well provides fresh water.

The yard and the barn:
Further into the yard stands an old barn, an outbuilding that can be put to use once the house itself is in order. The surroundings are calm: the nearby houses are often empty or lived in only in season, so the evenings here are quiet.

In the village:
The centre, a 6–7 minute walk away, has several grocery stores, a supermarket, a café-bar, the local library, a post office, the mayor's office, a park, a church, a kindergarten and a school. A regular bus runs to Vratsa, and the seat of the local council is in a town about 15 minutes away by car.

Location:
The village lies 60 km northeast of Vratsa, in open country of hills and fields.
• Vratsa – 60 km: The regional centre, at the foot of the Vratsa Balkan, with shops, services and a nature park on its doorstep for walking.

A country retreat in the making:
