A charming three bedroom townhouse with private garden and garage, currently used as 'self-catering holiday unit and premises'.
Pump Cottage is Grade II listed and according to Historic England dates back to the 18th century. Constructed of stone under a thatched roof, the cottage stands proudly at the head of The Old Pump Yard.
The front door leads into a beautiful sitting room, with an open fireplace at one end and a log-burning stove at the other. The room is arranged into two sitting areas, with stairs up to the first floor. The kitchen is fitted with traditional shaker style units under an oiled wood worktop, with butlers' sink and integrated Bosch dishwasher, Neff double oven and gas hob. The dining room lies just off, with a lovely adjoining stone-flagged garden room, with vaulted ceiling and French doors out on to the rear terrace and garden.
The first floor comprises a principal bedroom with adjoining dressing room and en suite shower room. The family bathroom has a free-standing rolltop bath with shower above which supports two further bedrooms; one is arranged as a double and the other a twin room.
As well as the attractive communal garden to the front of Pump Cottage, there is a private garden to the rear, accessed from the house itself and a side gate. Immediately behind the house is a stone-flagged terrace, with pond and brick-built storeroom. Steps lead to the side gate (with access to the garage) and the lawned garden. There are two areas of lawn, terraced, with deep herbaceous borders, along with a shed for garden tools and machinery.

This is in one of my favourite parts of Shaftesbury and I love the communal aspect of living in the rather beautiful Old Pump Yard.
