It was the home of the former ruler of Samokov and is a spacious house full of period features, such as amazing carved ceilings and doorways.
The Ottoman style of living had a large open plan reception area on the first floor. Guests would come up form the spacious entrance hall, and arrive in the space, with the Lord sitting on a raised area at end by lovely bay windows. This has been made into a relaxing lounge area with TV - making an alternative viewing place to the modern living room downstairs.
There are 4 bedrooms: 1 twin Master, 1 double and 2 singles, Plus sofa bed in first floor open area. The bedrooms are accessed from the open central area, with two on each side. The Master bedroom in particular has the most impressive carved cupboard panelling and ceiling - all restored with wood oil to protect from central heating drying. With the thick walls (14" frame beams and natural infill) and traditional wooden double glazed windows, the house is remarkably quiet even though it is in the centre of the town. It's also cool in the hot summer and warm in winter.
Originally, the Ottomans used a large brick "bottle" shaped sauna to heat the house. This still exists and the head of the room went above first floor level, to heat the whole house. Of course, modern heating is provided by a large modern boiler in the rear utility area.
Downstairs, off the large entrance hall is a modern living reception room, with superb open fireplace.
The property is sold with all furniture and utensils. Nothing will be removed at all. Completely ready to drop your bags in and holiday, or rent out.
The property has a detached garage. It also has a full security system, linked to local security company for worry free ownership. A full range of economical and local support services for rental and maintenance are available.
Living area of the house: 150 sq m. Land area: 290 sq m.
