The Russets, Sandal, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, WF2

Welcome to The Russets, Sandal – Your Dream Family Sanctuary!

Why You'll Love It:

Tucked away in a quiet, peaceful cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after area of Sandal near Wakefield, The Russets enjoys a prime corner plot location. This exceptional 4-bedroom detached family home seamlessly combines spacious, flexible living with extensive recent upgrades, fantastic outdoor space, and maximum privacy. 

Having undergone an extensive programme of high-quality improvements—including a full first-floor extension in 2021, replacement double glazing with decorative leaded front windows, fresh replastering throughout almost the entire home, new internal doors, skirting, architraves, and thermostatic radiators—this property offers a true "turn-key" finish with huge potential to extend even further (subject to planning permission).

Set back from the road behind a deep lawned front garden with mature trees and an impressively long private tarmac driveway, the property welcomes you with brilliant curb appeal and a serene, leafy feel. 

Ground Floor – Flexible Living & Entertaining

• Grand Entrance Hall: Step through the composite leaded front door into a light and welcoming hallway featuring light oak-effect luxury vinyl flooring, an elegant upright column radiator, spotlights, under-stairs storage, and a separate electrical cupboard. An exquisite oak staircase with a matching bannister and spindles leads gracefully to the first floor. 

• L-Shaped Semi-Open-Plan Living & Dining Room: The heart of the home is this expansive, light-filled dual-aspect reception space. The living room and adjoining dining area flow naturally together and both feature individual sets of UPVC double-glazed French doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a wonderfully bright and fluid layout for everyday family life and social gatherings. 

• Modern Fitted Kitchen: A stylish shaker-style kitchen with grey luxury vinyl flooring, crisp white cabinetry, dark contrast work surfaces, a 1.5 composite sink with mixer tap, tiled splashbacks, an integrated oven with four-ring electric hob and extractor, plus dedicated space for an under-counter fridge/freezer and washing machine. 

• Ground Floor Bedroom 4 / Snug: A highly versatile reception room located downstairs. Complete with a TV aerial socket, it makes a ideal 4th ground-floor bedroom, cozy snug, library, or dedicated home office. 

• Ground Floor Shower Room: Styled with light oak-effect luxury vinyl flooring, this modern, partially tiled shower room includes a corner walk-in shower cubicle with a mains-fed shower, a pedestal wash basin, WC, chrome heated towel rail, and dual frosted side windows for excellent light. 

First Floor – Luxurious Bedrooms & Clever Jack-and-Jill Ensuite

• Master Bedroom Suite: A spacious principal double bedroom featuring quality fitted built-in wardrobes, a TV aerial socket, and access to a private modern en-suite shower room complete with a vanity storage basin, WC, mains-fed shower enclosure, and chrome heated towel rail. 

• Bedroom 2 with Jack-and-Jill Access: A generous double bedroom boasting ample fitted wardrobes and direct access into the main house bathroom in a clever "Jack and Jill" arrangement. 

• Bedroom 3: A further comfortable double bedroom offering plenty of space for furniture. This room also features access to the partly boarded attic space via a pull-down wooden ladder, providing invaluable extra overhead storage with fitted lighting. 

• Jack & Jill House Bathroom: Serving both as a family bathroom via the landing and an en-suite to Bedroom 2, this contemporary suite is fitted with an L-shaped panelled bath with a mains-fed shower and glass screen, a ceramic wash basin set within a vanity unit, WC, and a chrome heated towel rail. 

Outdoors, Garage & Practical Features

• Landscaped Rear Garden: Capitalising on its generous corner position, the fully enclosed, child- and pet-friendly rear garden features Yorkshire stone steps leading down to a large Yorkshire stone patio ideal for outdoor dining. The tiered garden offers a lush lawn, mature planted borders, a side gravel pathway, a motion-sensor security light, and a water butt. 

• Driveway, Bin Store & Outbuildings: A multi-vehicle tarmac driveway features a dusk-to-dawn security light, an outside water tap, and provides access to a separate, gated bin store as well as a useful external boiler house housing an annually serviced Ideal combination boiler. Secure, padlocked timber gates provide access to both sides of the property.

• Detached Garage: Re-roofed in 2023 with a durable new rubber membrane and fascias, the garage is equipped with an electric remote-controlled roller door, internal power sockets, strip lighting, and a motion-sensor wall light.
