Well, always one to make quick decisions, I have now filled the pot and taken on board lots of the above suggestions. Sort of 
In the end we went for something sculptural - I was thinking topiary at first, but as the space is dark I thought that might not work. So we have a standard variagated holly and I'll pop some bulbs in for spring colour. I have lots of hostas in pots so they look quite nice together.
I've put a climbing hydrangea up against the wall straight into the ground. Fingers crossed for it.
And a Japanese quince a bit further around on the east corner.
Thanks again and here are some pictures.
The long blank north facing wall with hydrangea.
Pots by the front door which is actually at the back of the house in the darkest corner!
