Full Description
This traditional Bulgarian house is located in the peaceful village of Osikovo, within the Targovishte region, offering an affordable countryside property priced at EUR 29,000 (approximately GBP 24,940). Set in a tranquil rural environment, the property combines a good-sized house, useful outbuildings, and a manageable garden of approximately 705 m2 featuring established fruit trees. The house is arranged over two levels and benefits from mains water and electricity connections, providing essential utilities for immediate use or gradual renovation. The ground floor comprises a large basement and a smaller storage room, offering valuable additional space suitable for storing tools, garden equipment, preserved food, or household items. Depending on the buyer's plans and the condition of the structure, these areas may also present potential for conversion or workshop use. The upper floor contains the main living accommodation, including a corridor, kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. The three bedrooms provide flexibility, allowing use as family rooms, guest accommodation, or alternative purposes such as a home office, hobby room, or dressing room. The kitchen offers a practical starting point for renovation, enabling buyers to personalise the space according to their preferences, whether in a traditional Bulgarian style or a more contemporary design. The presence of indoor bathroom and toilet facilities is a notable advantage compared to some older rural properties where such amenities are external, though modernisation may be required. In addition to the main house, the property includes a separate annex containing an additional room. This space enhances the versatility of the property and could serve as guest accommodation, a summer kitchen, home office, hobby room, workshop, or storage area, subject to renovation and local regulations. A traditional Bulgarian barn is also part of the property, providing substantial additional space that could be used for agricultural purposes, storage, a workshop, covered entertaining area, or studio, depending on its condition and any necessary permissions. The garden, measuring approximately 705 m2, offers a practical size for outdoor living and gardening without excessive maintenance. Established fruit trees contribute to the traditional character of the property, and there is space for growing vegetables, planting additional trees, creating flower gardens, or developing outdoor seating and barbecue areas. This manageable garden size may particularly appeal to buyers who do not reside permanently in Bulgaria but wish to enjoy rural outdoor space. Osikovo village provides a quiet rural setting about 20 minutes by car from Popovo, where a wider range of everyday services-including supermarkets, shops, banks, restaurants, pharmacies, medical facilities, and schools-are available. The property is also reasonably positioned for access to larger cities such as Ruse and Veliko Tarnovo, both approximately one hour away, and Varna Airport, reachable in about two hours by car. These locations offer additional shopping, cultural attractions, professional services, and international transport connections. This property is well suited to buyers comfortable with renovation who seek a traditional Bulgarian village home with flexible accommodation and useful outbuildings. It offers the foundations for a permanent family residence, holiday retreat, or personalised renovation project in a peaceful rural location with essential utilities already connected.
