Shipsbeam Cottage offers the best of both worlds – the character of a CHARMING OLD COTTAGE within a modern-built home. This beautifully designed property features three double bedrooms, TWO LUXURIOUS REFITTED BATHROOMS, a spacious sitting room and dining room, both with cosy log burners, and a STUNNING REFITTED BREAKFAST KITCHEN. Quietly situated, it enjoys a picturesque setting adjacent to the babbling Diseworth Brook.
A fantastic opportunity to own a beautifully proportioned, period-style three-bedroom cottage, tucked away in a charming conservation area in the sought-after village of Diseworth. Fully refurbished in a sophisticated Farrow & Ball palette, this detached home seamlessly blends classic character with modern comforts. Exposed beams, log burners, and timeless details create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Spanning approximately 1,380 sq. ft. (excluding the garage), the property also benefits from a versatile converted loft room above the garage, accessed via a pull-down ladder. Complete with central heating, power, lighting and skylights, this additional space offers endless possibilities. The current owners have thoughtfully updated the home with a breath taking bespoke kitchen, two stunning bathrooms, and have fitted high-quality UPVC Residence 7 and 9 windows with French oak sills, ensuring both style and energy efficiency.
Diseworth Village
Nestled in the heart of Leicestershire, Diseworth is a picturesque village offering a perfect blend of rural charm and modern convenience. With its characterful cottages, historic buildings and a strong sense of community, Diseworth provides an idyllic setting for those seeking a peaceful village lifestyle. The village boasts excellent transport links, with easy access to the M1, East Midlands Airport, and nearby towns such as Loughborough and Castle Donington. Local amenities include a welcoming village pub, a historic church and scenic countryside walks right on your doorstep.
Accommodation
With roses adorning the door, windows and canopy porch, Shipsbeam Cottage is as pretty as a picture. Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a welcoming, wide stone-flagged hallway, with a staircase leading off to the upper floor.
To your right, the sitting room exudes warmth and character, featuring a reclaimed timber floor underfoot and exposed ceiling beams above. The true centrepiece of the room, however, is the stunning brick inglenook fireplace, complete with a curved beamed mantle, flagged hearth, and an impressive Jotul 6 log-burning stove.
Beautiful glazed double doors lead from the sitting room into the conservatory, where gothic-arched windows flood the space with natural light. Overlooking the mature gardens, this charming space seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living.
Perfect for entertaining, the dining room enjoys garden views and continues the home’s rustic charm with a reclaimed timber floor, exposed ceiling beams, and a second log-burning stove, ensuring a warm and cosy atmosphere.
At the heart of the home lies the bespoke, handcrafted kitchen, designed with timeless shaker-style cabinetry running along three sides of the room. Beautiful full-stave oak countertops complement the design, while an inset Belfast-style cottage sink adds the perfect finishing touch. Dual-aspect windows offer charming views of the lane and gardens, while a stable door provides direct access into the idyllic country cottage gardens.
Upstairs on the first floor, you’ll find three generously sized double bedrooms. Special attention must be given to the principal bedroom suite, which is both spacious and thoughtfully designed. It features a shelved and railed walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully refitted ensuite, complete with a panelled walk-in shower with a dual rainfall showerhead, a pedestal wash hand basin, a WC, and a period-style radiator with a towel warmer.
The family bathroom is a truly luxurious space, beautifully appointed and designed for relaxation. It features a large walk-in glazed shower with dual rainfall showerheads, a sumptuous bath perfect for soaking away the day’s stresses, a sleek floating contemporary wash hand basin, and a concealed cistern WC. Stunning wall tiling adds elegance, while a striking modern towel-warming radiator completes the space.
Outside
To the fore is a driveway leading to a single garage alongside lawned fore garden and footpath takes you past the property with bridge over the brook and off through the village to the surrounding countryside.
To the rear, you’ll find a private, south-facing garden – a perfect retreat for outdoor enjoyment. Thoughtfully planted and maintained, it features a spacious flagged patio area with raised brick borders, leading to an ornamental birdcage pergola framed by a neatly trimmed box hedge. A decorative brick wall with ornate cast iron railings elegantly separates this space from the lawned garden, which includes a second circular patio, creating a charming and versatile outdoor setting.
Agents notes:
The house lies in a conservation area.
The property lies in a flood risk zone (rating to be determined), with the Diseworth Brook running past. On February 16th, 2020, a small amount of water entered the property; however, no insurance claim was required. The water ingress was due to the brook not being cleared of debris and silt for many years, causing a temporary backup. Following this, the Diseworth Flood Working Group was formed by local villagers, who took action to regularly meet and clear fallen branches and debris, significantly reducing the risk of future flooding. There have been no incidents since this proactive maintenance was carried out.
