Weekend House - Drinovo

If you're looking for a project house in a proper Bulgarian village, this one in Drinovo offers a really solid base to get your teeth stuck into. It's got that traditional feel, set on a good chunk of land, and while it needs work, the potential is clear to see.

From the outside, you've got a two-storey house with classic terracotta roof tiles, and it definitely needs some attention to the render and facade. The garden out front is generous but pretty wild, waiting for someone to clear it and make it their own, though there’s already a well and plenty of mature trees further back. You can see one of the current residents enjoying the sun out there, which gives you a good feel for village life.

Inside, you'll find a mix of spaces. There’s a main living room with lilac-coloured walls, an older sofa, and a bed, which gives you a decent space that you could live in straight away if you needed to. You'll also find a separate room with a sink and a green carpet, used as a utility space, and then a basic shower room with tiled floors and yellow walls. It's a wet-room style, so no fancy enclosure, just a drain in the floor. There’s also a dedicated space for the hot water boiler. Another room, currently unfinished with grey plastered walls, houses a washing machine, fridge, and hob, so you’ve got the basics for a kitchen there, but it’s ready for you to put your stamp on it. One more smaller room is currently used for storage. It’s important to note that the toilet is an outside 'dunny', so bringing that inside will be high on your to-do list.

Location

For travel, Varna airport is about an hour and a half to two hours away, making it easy enough for friends and family to visit.

This house is priced at EUR 31,500, which is approximately GBP 26,460. It’s a fantastic opportunity for someone wanting to create their dream home without breaking the bank. Drop us a message or call us to arrange a viewing and see the potential for yourself.
