Some homes simply provide accommodation, while others carry character, history and the feeling of a place where life can truly be enjoyed. Carpenter House is one of those homes - a property where craftsmanship, countryside tranquillity and generous space come together to create something genuinely special.

Access to the property is through a double vehicle gate, allowing convenient parking inside the spacious garden. As you enter, you are welcomed by greenery, fruit trees and grapevines growing naturally within the garden, while open views of the surrounding countryside create an immediate sense of peace and privacy. Close to the house stands a gazebo with a round table and surrounding wooden seating - a lovely place to start the morning with coffee, enjoy relaxed lunches outdoors, or spend long summer evenings with family and friends.
Entering the house on the ground floor through the main entrance door, you arrive in a small entrance area leading into a wide corridor connecting the rooms. To the right, the first door opens into a large kitchen - a welcoming space capable of bringing the whole family together around the table for hearty meals and shared moments. The next door on the right leads to a cellar room located on the same level as the other rooms, offering practical storage space or the potential to be adapted according to the needs of the future owners.

On the left side of the corridor there is a good-sized room that could serve perfectly as a living room, guest bedroom, home office, or any other space required by the household. Attached to the house is also an extension with a small entrance area leading to a toilet and from there to a bathroom with a shower.

The second floor is accessed via external stairs. At the top, you enter a bright glazed entrance room filled with natural light and pleasant views of the surroundings. From here a spacious corridor leads to the rooms.
To the left is a generous family bedroom, while to the right there is another comfortable bedroom. Beyond it lies an additional room with excellent potential, which could easily become a home office, children's room, guest bedroom, storage space or even an additional bathroom depending on the needs of the new owners.

One of the most charming features of the entire upper floor is the beautiful preserved wooden flooring, bringing warmth, character and a timeless atmosphere to the living space.

Stepping back outside, the garden continues to impress with its generous space and beautiful views. Fruit trees and grapevines grow throughout the property, creating a pleasant rural setting and offering plenty of opportunities for gardening, relaxation or outdoor projects.
Several outbuildings provide additional practicality and flexibility. Among them you will find a particularly interesting space - a traditional carpenter's workshop still holding old woodworking machines and tools, preserving the spirit of craftsmanship from another time. For hobbyists, artists or anyone who appreciates authentic spaces, this workshop could easily become a creative studio or personal atelier.
And finally comes one of the most impressive features of the property.

This is not simply a summer kitchen, but a huge and versatile building designed for gatherings and memorable moments. Access is through a bright glazed entrance area which leads into the spacious interior.

Inside, the room is remarkably large, comfortably accommodating a generous dining table with plenty of additional space - even enough room for a little dancing after dinner. The building is also equipped with a kitchen area and even a bed, making it ideal for hosting guests, organising celebrations, or simply enjoying long Bulgarian summer evenings with family and friends.
With its character, generous garden and unique features, Carpenter House offers a wonderful opportunity for anyone seeking a peaceful countryside home filled with charm, creativity and potential.

DISTRICT OF VELIKO TARNOVO

The Historical Veliko Tarnovo, located on the famous Yantra River (the 3rd longest Bulgarian tributary of the Danube River) is one of the most popular destinations among tourists in Bulgaria.

Situated at the foot of Stara Planina Mountains in North Central Bulgaria, it attracts many tourists due to its unique architecture and history.

Often referred to as the "City of the Tsars", Veliko Tarnovo was capital of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom in the Medieval Era when it became a force to reckon with.

Probably the most popular tourist attraction, which is not only an iconic landmark and the symbol of the city of Veliko Tarnovo but also one of Bulgaria's most beloved heritage sites, is the Tsarevets Fortress. Dominating the entire skyline of Veliko Tarnovo, Tsarevets is a medieval stronghold located on a hill with the same name. It served as the Second Bulgarian Empire's primary fortress and strongest bulwark between 1185 and 1393, housing the royal and the patriarchal palaces.

The fortress is also famous for the Sound and Light audiovisual show that has been organised there since 1985. The audiovisual show is an attraction carried out in the evening that uses three lasers, variegated lights, dramatic music and church bells to tell the story of the fall of Tarnovo to the Ottomans, as well as other key moments of the history of Bulgaria.

Situated to the north-west of the Tsarevets Fortress is the hill of Trapezitsa, which used to be the fortified quarter of the capital city of Tarnovgrad. Naturally protected by high cliffs, Trapezitsa had solid fortification walls following the uneven cliff edge. It is about 80 decares in size. Parts of the defense system of the fortress, a military complex and 18 churches were localised during archaeological excavation, which continues to be carried out today.

The interactive display in the newly set up Trapezitsa Architectural Heritage Centre and Museum shows the splendour of the capital city of Tarnovgrad and the Second Bulgarian Kingdom and visitors can learn more about the customs and daily life of both the nobility and ordinary people during that time.

Another place to explore in the city where you can feel its true spirit is the Samovodska Charshiya Complex, situated in the Old Town. This was the place where in the 19th century, farmers and artisans from the village of Samovodene came to sell their goods. The area, also known as the Crafts Street, underwent serious restoration in the mid-1980s to recreate the bustling marketplace of the early 20th century. In the beautifully renovated houses from the pre- and post-liberation period, visitors can find workshops for pottery, weapons, copper working, wood carving, weaving, icon painting, Turkish sweets and a bakery.

Veliko Tarnovo might have ancient history but it also has modern and original bars, eateries and shops as well as the ultra modern Grand Central Mall (One of Bulgaria's largest), with a multiplex cinema, shops, atrium and kids play area, there is definitely something for everyone in the mall alone. Veliko Tarnovo's museums are varied and show the history of the ancient city as well as present some relics of the past.

If you want a different museum experience, you can visit The Museum of Illusions, a meeting place of science and entertainment where you can enjoy over 100 illusions, both optical and physical, such as holograms, 3D paintings, a levitating orb, an inverted room, an Ames room and more.

The closest ski resort is in "Uzana", the geographic center of Bulgaria, located at about 28 miles from Veliko Tarnovo. There are several hotels in the resort which provide tourism opportunities and good conditions for relaxation among the quiet and calm atmosphere of the mountain throughout the year. The surrounding sites of Uzana are suitable for speleology and rock climbing. There are possibilities for cultural tourism in the region. In the nearby open-air "Ethnographic Museum Etara" people can learn more about Bulgarian crafts. The "Sokolski Monastery" is situated a few miles away from Uzana.

From its rich historical value, to its thriving modern nightlife and lush natural surroundings that provide many excellent opportunities for outdoor recreational activities,

Veliko Tarnovo offers you everything you could ever want for the perfect holiday or day out!!
