This fantastic three/four-bedroom, end-of-terrace house is located on sought-after Arlington Avenue, a quiet no-through road in the Arlington Conservation Area. It has recently undergone a major renovation across its three storeys, including a contemporary two-storey rear extension, opening the entire living space to a private south-facing garden.

Accommodation measures approximately 1,300 sq ft over three floors, with a distinctly flexible layout. The lower floor is an open-plan space with a living room at the front and a contemporary kitchen to the rear. The extension is wonderfully bright, flooded with light through a glazed ceiling and large Crittall-style windows which open onto the patio.

Aesthetically, the current owners have engaged in a thoughtful, measured design that seamlessly stitches together a quiet, English aesthetic with clean, modern, linear forms. The kitchen has white cabinetry and a Corian worktop and sink. There is also a guest WC downstairs and a space for a washing machine neatly tucked beneath the stairs.

In the garden, paved steps ascend from the patio, to raised beds which have been immaculately planted and frame a grass lawn. A door in the fence to the rear leads onto the Regent’s Canal towpath.

On the raised-ground floor there are two double-bedrooms, which the current owners use as a spare bedroom/snug, and an office space. A half-landing above is a large family bathroom which serves these bedrooms. It occupies the second floor of the extension and is a luxurious room, with a freestanding bath, and marble tiles. Upstairs, are a further two bedrooms and a shared WC. The master has two large sash windows which open to wrought-iron Juliette balconies.

Arlington Avenue is a broad and peaceful residential street which runs alongside the Regent’s Canal and is closed to through traffic. It has access to the gardens and amenities of Arlington Square. Despite its quiet situation, the house is within easy reach of the shops, bars and restaurants of Upper Street, Shoreditch, Hoxton and Clerkenwell. Within a stone’s throw of the house there are many good eateries, cafes and pubs; Pophams Bakery, The Rosemary Branch and minutes along the canal is the Towpath Cafe.

The Underground is available at Angel (Northern Line), and Old Street and Essex Road stations are also close by. Numerous bus routes provide easy access to the City and West End. To the south, significant redevelopment and investment is taking place in the area around City Basin and Old Street’s ‘Silicon Roundabout’, as it attracts tech companies and creative talent from around the world.
