Inside

Welcome to Waterpump Cottage, a bright and characterful period home, situated by a pretty triangular green in the hilltop town of Shaftesbury. Located in Enmore Green which has a village feel and a friendly community, this lovely home is within walking distance of Shaftesbury's amenity rich town centre.

Step through the pedestrian gate into the welcoming PORCH, an ideal spot for stowing coats and shoes. Waterpump Cottage has a very bright and welcoming atmosphere, evident the moment you enter the spacious KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, undoubtedly the heart of this delightful home. The well-designed kitchen has ample storage, and space for a fridge/freezer, cooker, dishwasher and plumbing for a washing machine. A peninsula unit serves as an ideal spot for casual dining or chatting with the chef, while an adjacent dining area is perfect for more formal meals or leisurely breakfasts with views of the green.
The SITTING ROOM is a bright spacious room flooded with light from the two large windows. The current owners have thoughtfully installed a cosy wood burner, complete with an integrated cooking shelf, ideal for pizzas and baked potatoes.
A rear LOBBY provides a convenient downstairs cloakroom, an understairs cupboard, and a door leading outside.

Ascending the stairs to the first floor, you'll find three double bedrooms. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is generously proportioned and flooded with natural light from windows on two sides, offering delightful views across rooftops to the countryside beyond. It also has built-in wardrobes. The FAMILY BATHROOM is fitted with a white suite, including a bath with shower over, WC, and hand basin. BEDROOM 2, overlooks the green to the front, and has an ensuite shower room. And BEDROOM 3, currently used as a home office, provides flexibility to suit your needs.

Outside

Waterpump Cottage has pretty COURTYARD GARDENS to the front and side, including a southwest facing seating area perfect for relaxing. A gate leads to a private PARKING SPACE, with additional on-road parking conveniently available. A pathway owned by Waterpump Cottage, leads to an additional detached, enclosed GARDEN AREA away from the main house. With a lawn, established borders, and a vegetable patch, this is a sizeable area and ideal for a keen gardener, as an allotment, or for further seating and entertaining. This garden area also houses a brilliant, insulated STUDIO, equipped with power, lighting and broadband, perfect for working from home, or as an art or pottery studio, or a teenager's den. It's a short commute down the pathway and a brilliant bonus to the property. At the entrance to this garden, there is a row of brick storage sheds, one of which belongs to the property.
