House for sale near Vidin

Built in the late 1930’s, this beautifully situated house has been professionally restored and extended to top European standards over the past three years. It is situated 29 km`s from Vidin in the lovely peaceful village setting of Vruv just 250 metres from the River Danube, on the south edge of the village.
The main house comprises 2 spacious double bedrooms (one with double fitted wardrobes), office, shower room and sitting room with French windows leading to a balcony overlooking the garden. The cellar has been tastefully converted into a large family dining room and fully fitted kitchen, which in the hot summers gives a cool retreat, and in the winter, a cosy warm hideaway, with three double radiators and a log burning stove. It has a fitted gas hob and electric oven.
The west wing consists of a music room and summer room, which could also be used as guest rooms or extra bedrooms. The west wing also has a large bathroom with huge tiled bath and two showers. A utility room provides floor to ceiling storage space, plumbing for two washing machines and a large chest freezer. It also has clothes drying facilities.
In the west corner of the property, the garage has 3 metre high steel doors and this provides ideal housing for a large caravan or campervan. With a well fitted work bench it also gives plenty of space for DIY projects.The house is heated using a modern solid fuel boiler with 13 radiators to all rooms. The boiler is housed in its own room at the East side of the property. With new roofs, guttering and drainage, the house is well protected for all seasons.
With a South facing aspect, the patio area provides a perfect setting for the long hot summers. The two tier landscaped terraced garden is a real pleasure to the eye, and is enclosed by 2 metre walls which gives privacy and security. The garden covers approximately 1,760 sq metres (1 acre), and is well stocked with herbaceous plants and 144 Merlot vines, and three lawn areas. An outstanding feature of the garden is the original Bulgarian barn which now has a new roof and gutters which will preserve the structure for many years to come, and renovation is currently ongoing. The barn offers lots of dry storage space for garden equipment and tools, and gives shade to the patio area as the sun goes down.
To provide extra shade to the house on hot summer days, a pergola is completely covered with climbing plants, and gives a perfect chill out and BBQ area. A 15 metre deep well, with electric pump provides water for the garden, and paths and walls give easy access to all areas to make it is a low maintenance and convenient garden.
A large swim pond (12metres x 10 metres) provides an eye catching water feature with a waterfall and filter system. This ornamental lake is stocked with over 500 Carp and because the water is fed from an underground spring it is perfectly safe to swim with the fish. The swim pond could easily be converted into a swimming pool (1.6 metres deep with a shallow end).
On the East side of the property just inside the gates is an area of hard standing, approx 70sqm`s, where you can park up to 6 cars.
The village has several food stores and a bar, also a post office and a church. It is only a 30 minute drive along the banks of the River Danube to Vidin which has three major international supermarkets, banks, bars, restaurants, a good night life and a bustling, lively, daily market where you can buy almost anything from fresh fruit and vegetables to tools, clothes, etc.
A new bridge is currently being constructed over the Danube which will be completed in the next few months, and will open up the region, creating a new gateway to Europe, which will hopefully bring new opportunities for the area in every aspect.
