Behind it is a further double bedroom, currently a nursery with a sash window onto the private rear garden. Creeping Toadflax by Living Quarters trails the walls and is upliftingly paired with the soft yellow of Oak Apple by Little Greene on woodwork.
The master suite occupies the second floor. Mossy blue wall coverings and complimenting wood shades achieve a soothing equanimity. Its enormous bath and shower room achieves a similar energy in its deep tones and elegant use of tiles.
The lower ground level is arranged in an open plan, united by black limestone flooring. A bespoke kitchen is arranged around a breakfast island and from the dining room, French windows open onto the incredibly private garden. At the rear is a utility room and a further guest loo.
Given the position of the house on the square, the house is afforded an uncommon level of privacy, particularly within the garden and the west-facing elevation. The original garden walls too are complimented by the added screening of western-red cedar fencing for an even greater sense of seclusion.
Arlington Square was built between 1846-58 by The Clothworkers' Company. It has an excellent community spirit, largely due to its superb, award-winning central garden, which is rated as outstanding by the Royal Horticultural Society. It runs a series of events through the year and thrives on the communal gardening of the Arlington Association residents. The unusually wide roads between the houses and the garden square, and indeed the surrounding streets, provide no through routes for traffic, and as a result remain remarkably quiet at all times.
Nearby
Despite its quiet situation, the house is within easy reach of the boutiques, bars and restaurants of Upper Street, Shoreditch, Hoxton and Clerkenwell. In fact, very few parts of London, if any, can claim to have a better selection of pubs and restaurants. So, keeping things to a few minutes' walk from the house, there is Pophams cafe, pastries and pantry, Quince Bakery, Saponara Italian deli and pizzeria, modern European cuisine at Caravel, and the superb, The Baring. The Island Queen and The Hanbury are also both within a stumble.
Shoreditch Park is nearby for green open space, tennis courts and other facilities.
Transport
The Underground is available at Angel (Northern Line), and Old Street and Essex Road stations are also close by.
