2 Bed Flat For Sale John Street, London, WC1N

We are delighted to be launching for sale, this wonderful penthouse apartment with a spectacular roof terrace, in this Grade II listed building on Bloomsbury's finest Georgian tree lined street.

Built in 1938, at the end of the Art Deco era and the birth of Art Moderne, Haines House was designed by the architects Denis Edmund Harrington who were an Associate of the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) from 1928 and a fellow from 1941, with the first occupants of the building being Linotype and Machinery Ltd a printing and engineering company.

It is a striking building incorporating many of the distinguished qualities associates with Art Deco such as vertical lines, large windows, bold geometric forms, classical elements and rich materials. Associated with glamour, luxury and fine craftmanship, nothing about Art Deco is inexpensive, it is a celebration of modernity and progress.
