Summary - 139, MANYGATES LANE, WAKEFIELD WF2 7DS
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
1930s family home in prestigious Sandal with garage, garden and excellent schools nearby.
Three bedrooms including en-suite to the master
Set in the sought-after Sandal area, this three-bedroom 1930s semi offers traditional charm with practical family space. The house has a generous dining room, separate reception, utility room and an en-suite main bedroom — features that suit everyday family life and entertaining. A driveway and attached garage provide secure off-street parking and storage, while a private rear lawn offers safe outdoor space for children or gardening.
The location is a major draw: good local schools, Sandal Castle and Pugneys Water Park on the doorstep, regular bus routes and Sandal & Agbrigg station within walking distance. Easy access to the M1 makes commuting straightforward. The property is freehold, set on a decent plot in an affluent suburb with fast broadband and low flood risk.
Buyers should note a number of practical considerations. Heating is by electric room heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which can mean higher running costs than gas central heating. The cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so thermal performance may be below modern standards and improvement work could be needed. Council tax is above average for the area. The house dates from the 1930s and, while well presented externally, an incoming buyer should budget for modernisation where required and commission full surveys and service checks.
This home will suit families seeking a well-located, characterful house with scope to improve energy efficiency and internal finishes. It’s particularly appealing to buyers who value proximity to excellent schools, green spaces and transport links, and who are prepared to invest modestly in upgrading heating and insulation to reduce running costs.
