100 % FREEHOLD!

Property situated in a very picturesque village with long and interesting history. The village is part of Veliko Tarnovo District, and offers all the basic utilities such as a post-office, several shops, pubs, cafes, etc. A regular bus transport to the surronding towns is also provided.

The property shown is located on walking distance from the village's center. It is a solid, brick-built house on two levels with a big yard and plenty of farm buildings. The estate is in overall excellent condition.

The ground floor comprises of two rooms, big corridor and an inner bathroom and a toilet, which is a big advantage and provides much comfort for living. Outer cement stairs are leading to the upper floor which offers another three bedrooms and a corridor. As there is plenty of space bricking-up another inner bathroom would be no problem (water fountain on the second floor's corridor is also available). A lot of charm to the house is bringing the veranda in front of the upper floor. It provides stunning views to the surrondings.

Yet there is an attic having the same floorage as the upper level. This is a great opportunity of turning it into additional living area with its own bathroom for example.

Underneath the house is the cellar. It could be used by its original purpose- as a storage, or it could easily be transformed into anything else (a nice authentic tavern or a winery for example).

Outside the house is the yard. Spreading over 2500 sq.m. of land, well-kept and absolutely plane, it provides numerous opportunities. Building-in a swiming-pool is an excellent idea of what it could become. This would bring much more charm to the property. At the moment there are beautiful flower, vegetable and fruit gardens, lots of fruit trees and wal-nuts. All this could be developed into something even more beautiful and also useful. The draw-well in the yard is also a big plus to the estate. It could be used for filling-up a swiming-pool, watering the garden or as an alternative water supply for example.

Most of the Bulgarian rural houses have lots of farm-buildings and this one does not make an exception. There are a barn, a granary, a hay-loft, pigsties, penthouse and hen-houses. All these could be used by their original purpose, or could easily be transformed into anything else (e.g. additional living area, playing rooms, workshops, BBQ area, etc.).

Water and electricity are connected to mains, Cable TV and Internet could easily be provided. There are water fountains inside the house (both floors) and outside in the yard. The property is in overall excellent condition,and could be used for living right away, but for more comfort would naturally need some renovations.

About the village

The village of Alekovo is located in Central North Bulgaria, seven kilometers away from the International road I 3 and 30 kilometers from Svishtov and the Danube River. Quiet and peaceful, with population of about 700 people, it spreads between the folds of the Danube Plain.

The village's old name was „arkchar“ which translated from turkish means „white soil“. After Bulgarian's liberation from the ottomans the village was named after one of the greatest bulgarian writers- Aleko Konstantinov.

Alekovo has a very ancient history and proofs for a Roman settlement there had been found at the late XIXth century. Besides the Romans there was an old thracian village, contributing for the long and very interesting history of the village.
