Wilton Square, Islington, N1

This Grade II listed, double fronted, five bedroom, three bathroom property in the Arlington Conservation area in Islington is a very attractive house on an unusually wide plot. It’s particularly spacious, approaching 2,200 square feet of living space set over three floors. The property has been fully refurbished and is in immaculate condition throughout, with stylish décor and contemporary fixtures and fittings that complement the elegant period proportions.

This is an expansive home, with the main living spaces on the raised and lower ground floors, four of the bedrooms on the first floor, and a fifth bedroom suite on the ground floor. There’s also an office, utility room, several storage rooms, a first floor terrace and a c.30 ft rear garden.
The central front door opens into a wide, welcoming hallway with a large living room to each side and a bathroom at the rear. The main living room, originally two rooms, is over 23 ft long. It’s easily zoned into two lounge areas, with a large sash window at each end, two feature fireplaces and a central entrance with neat pocket sliding doors. The second living room across the hall has a south-facing sash window and is next to the bathroom which has a shower and a bath.
Stairs lead down to an office (with a terrace) and a double bedroom with a modern en suite bathroom on the ground floor, and to a large open-plan living space on the lower ground floor.
 
This open-plan living/kitchen/dining room is a lovely light-filled space with garden views and a wall of glazed bifold doors that create a continuous indoor/outdoor space that’s great for relaxation or entertaining. The stylish Shaker-style kitchen has ample storage and worktop space, with a combination of integrated and freestanding appliances and a large central island that accommodates a sink and a breakfast bar. There’s also a utility room on this floor, and three walk-in storage areas that are accessed via the front lightwell. Herringbone pattern flooring, downlighters accent lighting, and smart monochrome décor gives the room a calm and contemporary ambience.

The first floor is home to four bedrooms. The main bedroom at the front of the property has two sunny south-facing sash windows and double fitted wardrobes. The second and third bedrooms are also doubles, whilst the fourth bedroom on this floor is a single and could also make a perfect dressing room as it’s located adjacent to the shower room.

The property is located in a quiet residential oasis that’s closed to through traffic. Wilton Square is a much-loved green space at the heart of the community. It’s a couple of minutes’ walk to the Regent’s Canal and just a few minutes more to Rosemary Gardens, Shoreditch Park and the new Britannia Leisure Centre with its three swimming pools and rooftop tennis courts. All the amenities of central Islington and Upper Street are also within easy walking distance.
Transport links are good. There are four stations within a mile, Essex Road (a 9 minute walk), Haggerston (14 min), Old Street (17 min) and Angel (20 min). If you’re a cyclist you can be in the City in 10 minutes and the West End in 15, or you can follow the towpath to the green spaces of London Fields, Victoria Park and The Olympic Park.
