A Traditional Bulgarian House in Konak Village, Waiting for Its New Owner

Some houses need to be completely renovated before you can even begin to imagine life in them.

Others already have the character, structure and space that make you start thinking about how you would make them your own.

This house belongs to the second group.

Located in Konak village, Popovo Municipality, approximately 20 km from Popovo, the property sits in a peaceful rural setting surrounded by rolling countryside, open views and a sense of space.

The house is a solid two-storey brick-built property, constructed on high stone foundations. It is in very good structural condition and does not require major structural renovation. The roof is also in good condition.

The remaining work is mainly finishing and adapting the interior to the new owner's taste.

The First Floor

The upper floor is accessed by an external staircase and contains three bright rooms:

14.70 sq.m. – south-facing
12.25 sq.m. – south-east-facing
15.75 sq.m. – south-west-facing

All three rooms receive plenty of natural light.

The floor has new PVC windows and well-preserved traditional wooden floorboards.

The ceilings have been opened up to the original wooden beams and are ready for the next stage of renovation, such as insulation and finishing according to the new owner's preferences.

There is also a 7 sq.m. room intended for a bathroom. The space has already been prepared, and a shower cabin has been purchased and will remain with the property. The bathroom still requires drainage, plumbing and finishing works.

The Ground Floor

The ground floor has two rooms:

12 sq.m.
10.20 sq.m.

There is also an 18 sq.m. cellar with a water tap.

Thanks to the thick walls and solid stone foundations, the ground floor remains naturally cooler during the summer months.

The property has electricity and running water with active utility accounts. There is a water tap outside the house as well as one in the cellar.

The Garden

The garden is one of the property's strongest features.

It extends to an impressive 3,840 sq.m., offering plenty of space for gardening, keeping animals, creating outdoor areas or simply enjoying the countryside.

The plot has a gentle slope and frontage onto an asphalt road. A small stream runs through the lower part of the garden, and a traditional village water fountain is located nearby.

The Large Barn

One of the most impressive features of the property is the large traditional barn.

It is approximately 4 meters high and over 10 meters long, with a large entrance wide enough for a vehicle.

The space offers a range of possibilities — storage for machinery or a vehicle, a workshop, agricultural storage, a place for a tractor or other equipment, or another project according to the new owner's needs.

The Views

The house enjoys a south-facing position and is situated in the higher part of the village.

The combination of the elevated position, rolling landscape and south-facing rooms creates an open outlook over the surrounding countryside.

The three upper-floor rooms face south, south-east and south-west, providing plenty of daylight throughout the day.

About the Property

This is a property with a combination that is becoming increasingly difficult to find: a solid traditional Bulgarian house, a huge garden, a large agricultural building, utilities already connected and open countryside around it.

The house does require some finishing work, but it is far from a property that needs to be started from scratch. The main structure is in good condition, while the unfinished areas give the new owner the freedom to create the interior according to their own style and needs.
