The second storey represents two bedrooms and a big veranda with a nice view to nearby hills. There are only outside stairs connecting the first and the second floor.

The property has been build in 1940. Foundations are made out of stone, walls are from traditional mud brick, and the roof is from trimmer joists.

I have not personally seen inside this house, I have only viewed it from the outside. It is a typical old Bulgarian property with 2 or 3 rooms downstairs and then external stairs to a further couple of rooms.

The roof looks to be in good condition and there is a garage attached to the property. There is around 1000sqm of land with the house.

It is a pretty, quiet village about 30minutes drive into the hills around Stara Zagora. The road is rather potholed in places but easily passable with a car and is due to be resurfaced in next year or two. There are 2 daily buses to the city and a couple of shops and a small cafe/bar. Other British own in the village and it is ideal for walking, fishing, hunting.

The house is solidly built out of stone but has been empty for quite a while and now requires serious renovation. It is accessed down a track and through a side gate. The house faces the plot and has stunning views over the mountains around.

On the ground floor is a small basement area and then on the second floor, accessed by external stone steps onto a terrace, there is a large central hall and then two rooms off this, one with a kitchen box area.

In the right hand room the roof has leaked in around the chimney and in the central hallway the old owner has ripped off the wooden cladding so it looks a bit of a mess.

The property comes with 1,300sqm of land, although one side of this needs fencing to separate it from the neighbouring plot, owned by another family member. Currently the plot is used to grow fir trees by a friend.

Whilst the actual house needs a lot of work, the property has amazing views and would make a lovely quiet holiday retreat.

Price: 11,000 Euros (including commission)

This is a small old house in need of serious repair or to knock down and build a new house on the plot. It is accessed from the main road and has a large plot of close to 2,000sqm, although actual size would need confirming.

The house itself has a hall and 2 or 3 rooms but is in bad condition. There is an attached summer kitchen/small barn but the roof has collapsed on this. Really buying a plot to build on.

Nice quiet, small village about 30 minutes drive into hills around Stara Zagora in Chirpan direction. There are daily buses and a couple of small shops and a cafe.

Price: Around 11,000 Euros

The house is set on two levels. First floor has a kitchen with dining room and a toilet/shower room. Then next door a large lounge.

(Next door house below also for sale)

This is a good solid house from stone and bricks with a good roof.

Access is via a good track to the rear of the property and through a garage type entrance (although roof on this has sagged so rather low to get vehicle under). There are then several outbuildings and small barns leading towards the house.

The house is on two levels. Downstairs there are two rooms connected by an open hall area, which could be enclosed. One room is a kitchen with sink and nice wooden beams. The other room is currently just used as a basement area. There is a small room off this suitable for a bathroom.

External stone flagged steps then lead to the second floor where there is a hall and a further 2 large rooms with wooden beams and floors. Again there is a small room suitable for a bathroom.

The house is in overall good condition and is dry and well looked after by the current owners, who just use it as a weekend property.

There is a a large plot of around 900sqm in front of the house, fenced off separately and another 300sqm or so around the actual property.

There is also a separate room attached to the house which could be knocked through to the kitchen room to make an additional room downstairs.

The village has a couple of shops and a small restaurant serving basic food. It is about 30 km from Stara Zagora but as the final 10km is along a rather pot holed road, it takes about 30 minutes to reach the house from the city. But it is a very pretty area and other British own holiday homes here. There are two buses a day to the city (morning and evening) and two small lakes close by for fishing. The area is ideal for those seeking a peaceful get away to enjoy the countryside, walks and nature.

The house next door is also for sale if anyone was looking for a property to live in and another to run as a guest house (once renovated).

Price: 12,000 Euros (including commission)

Overall the house is in good condition and is solidly built with decent roof. There are a number of small outbuildings as well as a large barn. The plot is around 1000sqm. Access is straight up a hard core track from the centre of the village.
