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.

Agent's Notes - The neighbours have right of way over the path behind Waterpump Cottage to access their properties.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
