The property is located at the edge of a charming village just 12 km from near the picturesque town of Shumen and 103 km from the sea capital Varna. The town of Shumen is not only the administrative, business and cultural centre of the region, but it’s also closely connected with the history of Bulgaria. A blend of mellow Baroque and smart modern architecture gives downtown Shumen an expansive air. It has several museums and visitors may wish to see the History Museum where Thracian and medieval artifacts are handsomely displayed. Shumen also boasts an equally fine Art Gallery, but the town’s main sight is the C18 Tombul Mosque with its bulbous dome and proud minaret. Raised on the orders of Sherif Pasha in 1744, the mosque dates from the time when the estern part of the town was transformed into a stronghold with huge ramparts and 12 fortified gates. There’s more to see in Shumen’s old quarter, which huddles either side of the Poroina River with a C18 Clock Tower as its chief landmark. North of the river are several old residences preserved in honour of their former occupants. Best of all is the Kossuth House where the Magyar revolutionary Lajos Kossuth stayed for three months after fleeing Hungary in 1849, before the Turks interned him in Asia Minor. Yet another museum-house – near the Kurshum Fountain on the south side of the river – commemorates Pancho Vladigerov: a Spaniard who settled in Shumen and became Bulgaria’s first composer of classical music, now honoured by tagging his name to an annual Festival of Piano Music.
All easily accessible from Shumen, there are three distinguished archaeological sites to justify a visit: the ruins of Pliska – the capital of the First Kingdom, the remains of Veliki Preslav – Tsar Simeon made it his capital, and the Madara Horseman – a mysterious bas-relief dating back to the C3 BC and representing a horseman whose mount is trampling a lion with the assistance of a greyhound, while he holds the reigns in one hand and a wine-cup in the other. Shumen also lies roughly midway along two important routes between Ruse, Veliko Tarnovo and Varna.                                                                                                                                The village is situated in a beautiful valley with a river and a dam, which make the place perfect for fishing and hunting. This two–storey house, with a total area of 100sq.m and a yard of 1 100sq.m, has a nice wooden cladding on white-washed external walls. The ground floor comprises a cellar, a corridor, and a room. Two more rooms and a lounge are on the first floor. There isn’t a bathroom or a toilet in the house. Two more rooms are in a small outbuilding adjacent to the house. The toilet is out in the yard and the property has a septic tank. It is connected to electric and water mains. In the yard there’s enough parking space. The property benefits from a big garden planted with fruit trees and shrubs. The house may need some repair works and our teams of professional builders are able to assist you with all your property needs.
