Property with an English Courtyard in Bulgaria: Flats and Houses

Property in Bulgaria with an English courtyard is a refined, fashionable trend. It is suitable for permanent living and summer holidays. All other things being equal, such apartments — flats and studios — are the first to be rented out. The housing is affordable and can be purchased by pensioners from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Russia, Europe, Canada and America, as well as by married couples and investors. 

More and more buyers are planning to purchase a flat, townhouse or cottage with a yard. Some are planning to grow vegetables and fruit. Others prefer decorative solutions in the style of good old England, decorating the grounds with flowers, herbs and shrubs.

However, it is not necessary to spend time arranging a garden — you can simply buy an apartment with a private entrance and an English courtyard. 

To find out what makes it noteworthy, we invite you on a short trip to an ordinary town house in the suburbs of Varna, in Ravda, Sveti Vlas, Burgas or Pomorie. Step into an apartment on the ground floor — it has no ordinary balcony. Instead, it has its own exit to a small garden. Once inside, you will see flowering shrubs, flower beds and fountains with murmuring water. On the windowsills, along the house, pots and wooden boxes with flowering plants blazing with colour are arranged. The walls are entwined with roses. Clay figurines of people and animals have found refuge on the trimmed lawns.

It is hard to believe that such beauty exists. But in Bulgaria it is not difficult to buy property with a lawn. A favourable climate and sunny days encourage the development and widespread use of landscape design.

What kind of housing to buy

In Bulgaria there is property with lawns to suit every taste. 

You can buy:

• Small studios. At the Sunny Beach resort, options are available at prices of €20,000 – €23,000.
• Two-room flats. Prices depend on the location. In Byala and Sveti Vlas, options are on sale from €36,000. In Saint Constantine and Helena, upmarket seaside housing starts from €60,000 and above (the price per square metre exceeds €1,000). In addition to a plot with landscape design, you will receive a luxurious interior, modern furnishings, and the opportunity to walk to the sea at any time. 
• Apartments with three, four or more rooms are offered from €69,000.

Flats with lawns have two features. They are located on the ground floor (parterre). Instead of a balcony, they are equipped with a veranda or a direct exit to the plot, and a path to the sea.

Housing with a well-kept yard also includes townhouses and cottages. A modest «town house» can be chosen from €65,000. A luxurious townhouse will cost €129,000. Villas and cottages start from €58,000 and above. A luxury-class villa with a swimming pool is offered for €210,000.

Where to buy a flat with its own yard

You can buy property with a lawn and an English-style garden in any part of Bulgaria.  Flowers and greenery combine wonderfully with traditional Bulgarian architecture and modern buildings. 

Sozopol, Burgas, Varna, Kamenar, Pomorie, Sveti Vlas and Obzor are particularly popular. 

Bulgaria Avenue will help you to buy housing directly from the developer profitably and at an affordable price. For example, near the Euxinograd residence (Varna), apartments with 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms are offered from €61,000.

Options in residential complexes are offered for sale at low prices. Owners have the opportunity to make use of their lawns. At their disposal are the well-kept grounds of the complex, swimming pools and SPA centres. The disadvantage is the annual maintenance fee. 

Apartments with an English courtyard are also sold in ordinary town houses. Prices for them are higher, but there is no service fee. Such property is popular among pensioners and married couples. It is chosen for permanent living. 

Advantages of housing with an English yard
We are often asked why one should buy property with a lawn sown with grass, flowers and shrubs. Perhaps it is better to buy a house with a plot of land and to lay out a garden and vegetable patch. 

Property with a courtyard has several advantages:

• In the neighbouring flats there are many neighbours who can help. This is particularly relevant for pensioners and for people who come to Bulgaria only for a few months.
• If something happens to the plumbing, sewerage or electrical systems, it is easier to resolve the matter through the management company or the owners’ council than on your own. 
• Such flats are located in the town or in the suburbs. Owners have permanent access to the town’s infrastructure. 
• Maintenance requires less time, effort and energy, which is important for working people and for the elderly.

The main advantage is your own plot with beautiful plantings, where you can relax, unwind and meet friends.
