However, it is nicely private with a double front gate, fruit trees, and a wall surrounding the property.
Once through that gate you are greeted with a lovely open garden, grapevines, and, best of all, a balcony where you can sit and enjoy it all!
Walking through the front gate, you step onto a gravel pathway, with grapevines, trees, and garden on one side and a nice outbuilding on your left.
In addition to the house, the property consists of an outbuilding, a two storey barn, two animal sheds, a well, a bunker, and a covered storage area perfect for tools.
The outbuilding could make a perfect summer kitchen area or could even be converted into additional living space, as it is attached to the main house.
The garden is 1,020 sqm and has an abundance of fruit and nut trees. It also has a well-maintained vegetable patch.
The house is on two levels. The lower level is half underground, so it stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. As is common with traditional Bulgarian homes, this area was originally used to house animals in the winter, but has now been completely renovated. The floors have been concreted, the beams restored, and the rock walls exposed. The downstairs is split into two rooms (They are currently using them as bedrooms) and a corridor. Downstairs has also had all new electrics installed.
The first floor consists of three rooms. The lounge has lovely light and a brand new staircase connecting it to the lower level. The kitchen is fully plumbed and has all new electrics, including fittings for under-cupboard lighting and an extractor fan. The bathroom (fully plumbed) consists of a sink, shower, and toilet, as well as plumbing for a washing machine. The house has electricity and water connected inside and out and is ready to be moved into immediately (Friends own the house and are living in it now!).
As friends own this property, you will not be dealing with any middlemen or agencies. This was their first house together and they have put a lot of love and effort into it. The only reason they are selling is because they are hoping to start a family in the near future and, when you add one or two children, all their stuff, a big dog, and three cats, they simply don't know where they would put everyone/everything!
If you would like more photos, information about our village and the surrounding areas, or more details regarding the house then please feel free to email us!
Palamartsa
The village of Palamartsa, is just 5m from the up-and-coming municipal town of Popovo.
The village has a lot of history and is said to have recently found some of the oldest antiques buried in the hills in the village.
The village has a bar in the centre, with a shop next to it, which is owned by the mayor’s daughter.
The mayor regularly visits the bar and has a big part to play in the village and the progress.
He has recently got a grant and put a new asphalt road coming from Popovo.
The village also has a church, where local weddings are performed. Last year an English couple married there.
There is also a council building and 3/4 shops selling all the main products needed by a family.
The village has a football team, which last year were top of the league and moved up to the next league. The team have their own stadium in the village, and are sponsored by a beer company that will be funding for the stadium to be done up, and after each match on a Saturday, the team get together at the local bar and celebrate.
The village has a lot of older adults and not many children and the locals are trying to get families to come into the village and build it up. The older generation that live there are very friendly and are always there to help.
Many English and some americans have invested in the village already and are trying to follow on the Bulgarian traditions and customs. There are families that live in this village on a permanent basis, and some that come to visit, each summer.
