About
16 Emmanuel Road is a distinguished period townhouse, thoughtfully renovated to create a residence of exceptional style and sophistication.
The property balances its historic architectural heritage-featuring elegant sash windows, high ceilings and original timber flooring-with a high-specification contemporary finish.
Extending to over 2,200 sq ft across two principal floors, it offers a versatile and generous layout ideal for modern city living. The ground floor is defined by a strong sense of space and flow.
A central hallway leads to a refined sitting room and separate study, both benefitting from large windows and period detailing.
To the rear, the house opens into a superb open-plan kitchen and dining space, fitted with premium cabinetry, marble-effect worktops, and a range cooker, with a large roof lantern drawing in abundant natural light.
Adjacent is a substantial family room with full-height glazed doors opening directly onto the outdoor space.
A utility room and cloakroom provide practical support, while a cellar offers valuable additional storage. On the first floor, the accommodation is equally well appointed.
The principal bedroom suite provides a calm retreat, complete with a contemporary en suite shower room. Three further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.
From this level, front-facing rooms enjoy attractive, leafy views over mature trees and adjoining parkland.
Externally, the property features a private courtyard garden, finished with stone paving and gravel, creating a secluded setting for al fresco dining.
The frontage is neatly landscaped with box hedging and benefits from the modern convenience of an integrated EV charging point.
The property is set in a highly sought-after central position within easy reach of the historic city centre of Cambridge, and is ideally placed for a wide range of amenities.
These include independent shops, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions along Mill Road and in the city centre, as well as the open green spaces of Parker’s Piece, Christ’s Pieces and Jesus Green.
The area is particularly well served for schooling, with highly regarded independent schools including The Perse School, St Mary’s School and The Leys, alongside strong state options such as Cambridge Grammar School for Girls.
Transport links are excellent, with Cambridge railway station providing fast and frequent services to London King’s Cross and Liverpool Street, while the M11 (Junction 11) offers convenient access to the M25, Stansted Airport and the wider motorway network.
