A five-bedroomed period family home that has been extended over the years has come on the market, priced £385,000, through Jon Brambles of Newark.

The Sheridan in Beckingham provides spacious, versatile accommodation and is full of character throughout. The original part of the building is believed to date back more than 200 years.

The entrance hallway has one of three staircases leading to the first floor and doors to the lounge and study. There is a storage space beneath the staircase.

The study has sash windows, a beamed ceiling, brick chimney breast with open fire, solid wood flooring and wall lighting.

In the lounge there is a heavily beamed ceiling, sash window, brick fireplace with open fire and the original fitted display cabinets on either side of the chimney breast.

An L-shaped dining kitchen is bright and airy and features a heavily beamed ceiling and brick fireplace with open fire. On one side of the chimney breast there are the original storage units.

The kitchen area is fitted with a comprehensive range of base units with granite work surfaces. There is a 11/2-bowl stainless steel sink. Included in the sale is a Rangemaster range with five-ring gas hob. There is a ceramic tiled floor with underfloor heating.

A second staircase leads to the first floor. A stable door leads to the side of the property and to the rear garden. The good-sized utility room is fitted with base units and houses the central heating boiler. There are spaces and plumbing for a washing machine and a dishwasher.

There is a third staircase from the inner hallway. The sitting room has windows to the side and French doors to the rear garden making it a particularly bright and airy room. There is a feature fireplace with living flame gas fire.

On the third landing there is a Velux skylight window and access to the fourth and fifth bedrooms, which would be ideal for a self-contained annexe if required.

Outside, the side garden has been tastefully hard landscaped and edged with well-stocked borders. The remainder is tiered on two levels with a patio area adjacent to the French doors from the sitting room.
