Emmanuel Road, Cambridge CB1 See map

An early Grade II Listed Victorian Townhouse of 2565 sqft / 238 sqm, fronting onto Christ’s Pieces with easy access to the river and this historic city’s wealth of attractions, available with no chain.No. 9 Emmanuel Road represents a very rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive family home in a prime central city location. The accommodation is both well-proportioned and carefully thought out. The previous owners extended the home 25 years ago and the blend is almost seamless with meticulous care taken to ensure the aesthetic appeal wasn’t compromised.

The property is entered via a solid timber door with a fanlight over, leading to an entrance hall with stairs to first floor, finished with original wood flooring continuing through to a study, which has delightful views over Christ’s Pieces. The extension, which was designed by renowned local architect Rosalind Bird, incorporates an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/garden room and includes a walk-in pantry. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of base and eye-level units, includes a two-oven gas-fired Aga and is finished with stainless steel worktops. Further integrated appliances include an oven and a four-ring gas hob with an extractor over. A wide arch extends into a bespoke dining/garden room, which has a glazed vaulted roof with sun blinds and seven pairs of double-glazed doors to the landscaped courtyard garden. The first of the bedrooms is located on the ground floor, houses a recently fitted combi-boiler, installed in 2023, and also has access to an ensuite W.C.

Stairs from the entrance hall lead down to the lower ground floor, which has been serving as an Airbnb in recent months. There is a front bedroom extending the full width of the property, a sitting area, and a kitchenette along with a modern bath/wet room to the rear. A set of French doors open to a small seating area with steps leading up to the garden.

On the first floor is bedroom 4 and a shower room, which has been fitted with a white suite. There is a striking sitting room with high ceilings and two tall sash windows boasting lovely views over Christ’s Pieces. Folding doors open into a dining room, which has a cast iron fireplace and is finished with stripped pine floorboards that continue back through to the sitting room. The principal bedroom and bedroom 5 are located on the second floor, as well as a shower room located off from the landing.

The walled courtyard garden measures 45ft (13m) x 23ft (7m) and was recently landscaped in 2024 with a modern stone tiled patio, ideally for alfresco dining during the warmer months. There is a secure shared pedestrian passage leading back to the front of Emmanuel Road, shared with the neighbours at No.10. There is permit parking available nearby.
