Charming Stone House with Spacious Garden, Woodland, Outbuildings and Central Heating in GradinaSituated in the picturesque village of Gradina, formerly known as Stefan Stambolovo, this attractive two-bedroom stone house offers a wonderful combination of traditional Bulgarian character, modern improvements and exceptional outdoor space.

The house provides approximately 110 sq.m. of living space arranged over two floors and has undergone significant renovation works, making it suitable for immediate occupation while still offering opportunities for further personalisation and enhancement.
An enclosed porch welcomes you into the ground floor, creating a practical entrance area that leads into the main living room. The living area is warm and inviting, centred around a wood-burning stove connected to a wood-fired central heating system with radiators throughout the house, ensuring comfortable year-round living.
Adjacent to the living room is a recently updated kitchen fitted with attractive rustic-style oak kitchen units, a breakfast bar, electric oven, microwave oven and washing machine. The layout provides both functionality and character, making it a pleasant space for everyday living and entertaining.
Access to the upper floor is provided by both internal and external staircases. Upstairs, a spacious open corridor connects two comfortable bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom featuring a large fitted bath. The rooms are partially furnished, allowing new owners to move in immediately while adding their own style and finishing touches over time.
One of the most impressive features of the property is the substantial stone outbuilding adjoining the house. This long traditional barn is divided into several sections and currently provides extensive storage and workshop space. The flexible layout offers excellent potential for conversion into guest accommodation, garages, hobby rooms, kennels, studios, workshops or additional living space, subject to any necessary approvals.
The property sits on a generous plot of 2,094 sq.m., offering privacy, tranquillity and a wonderful connection with nature. The garden combines a large lawned area with a beautiful woodland section that extends towards the village spring. Mature trees provide shade and atmosphere, while traditional dry stone walls add character and define parts of the boundaries.
A valuable feature of the property is the water well, which has reportedly never been known to run dry, providing an excellent resource for maintaining the garden. The outdoor spaces create numerous opportunities for gardening, recreation, outdoor dining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
