Fortyfour is located between the backs of two terraces in Islington, apparently built by the owner of the adjacent end-of-terrace house in the 1870s. The street that it sits on is characterized by similar strange end conditions, with a range of singular infill houses peppering its length. Fortyfour is particularly eye-catching, isolated between two garages with a blue-painted façade contrasting with the bare and varied brickwork of its flanks. The diminutive size of the building contrasts with the grand Victorian St Thomas' Church opposite, but somehow holding its own, it is affectionally known as 'The Blue House' by locals.
