100 % FREEHOLD!

Property situated in a picturesque village near the town of Iskar, Pleven District. The village has a regular post service, health service, operating school, several shops, pubs, cafes, etc. There are regular buses to the surronding towns and villages, and also a train-station 6 km away in the neighbouring village of Gorni Dabnik.

The property shown is located on walking distance from the village's center. It is a solid, brick-built, two-storeyed house in overall very good condition.

The first floor offers a kitchen, big corridor and a cellar. The cellar could be used by its original purpose- as a storage or could easily be converted into anything else (additional living area, a nice authentic tavern or a winery for example).

Outer cement stairs are leading to the second floor which offers two bedrooms plus another big corridor. Both floors provide opportunity of adding inner bathrooms as the corridors are big enough for this purpose.

Yet there is an attic having the same floorage as the other two floors. This provides great opportunity of turning it into additional living area with its own bathroom for example.

Attached to the main house is the so called „summer kitchen“. As the name says it offers an outer kitchen for more comfort during the hot summer days.

Outside the house is the yard. Spreading over 1550 sq.m of land it provides numerous opportunities. For example additional living area could be built, or it could be used for beautiful garden, or for growing fruits and vegetables. Another good idea of what the yard could propose is adding a swiming-pool. This would bring much more charm to the property. As the yard is big enough and absolutely flat, this would be no problem.

Another big advantage of the property is the big double-sized iron gate, which gives the chance of parking several cars into the yard.

Most of the Bulgarian rural houses offer plenty of farm-buldings. This one does not make an exception. There are a granary, a barn, hen-houses and a big solid, two-storeyed, brick-built hay-loft. All this could be used by its original purpose or could be easily converted into anything else (additional living area, kinder playing area, BBQ area, workshops, etc.).

The property is easily accessible through all seasons via an asphalt road in good condition.

Water and electriciy are connected to mains, Internet and Cable TV could easily be provided. There are water fountains inside the house and outside in the yard.
