Prophecy House - Gradina (Stefan Stambolovo)

Prophecy House - Gradina

This historic home really catches the eye with its mix of traditional charm and modern updates, sitting under a proper blue Bulgarian sky. You'll find a house that’s got good bones and plenty of potential, whether you’re after a holiday spot or a permanent move to the Bulgarian countryside.

Walking through the property, you can see where care has been put in. The main living room, with its exposed wooden beams and white walls, feels really cosy, especially with that modern wood-burning stove set into the old fireplace. It’s a proper feature, and you can imagine spending chilly evenings there. There’s a rustic wooden ‘Singer’ chest adding character, and the floor is covered with rugs, giving it a warm feel. The bathroom is a pleasant surprise, very recently updated with modern beige tiles on the walls and floor, a chic basin set on a wooden vanity unit, and a proper glass shower enclosure. It's definitely a step up and ready to use.

The house currently offers two bedrooms downstairs. One of them is quite spacious with a distinctive teal-painted wooden slat ceiling, white walls, and an air conditioning unit already installed. There's a double bed with a stripy duvet, a TV on a stand, and a clothes rail, making it perfectly functional. The second bedroom, or perhaps a snug, is a smaller room that looks like it's waiting for your finishing touches, with plain white walls and an unfinished ceiling. The kitchen has a more rustic, functional feel with concrete walls, exposed beams, and a mix of freestanding units including a large white fridge and green work tables, one with a griddle. It’s got everything you need to get by, but you might want to put your own stamp on it down the line. Outside, the house has a brand new roof with the traditional red-tiles reseated.

While some of the render is peeling, revealing the stone beneath, it just adds to the character.

There are new dark-framed windows and doors which is a good practical update. The garden itself is a generous size (approx 1500+ square metres, tbc) and, as you can see, it's green and needs a bit of taming, but it definitely offers plenty of space and some lovely walnut trees.

Upstairs needs a little more finishing off, but there is good space for two bedrooms and a bathroom has already had the essential installed.
