Yes MartinR, until 1929, but always educational.

I think that Grandarog has just given everyone a general location clue.

Apologies for delay, life etc. etc.
This one will be very easy for some. The building (from 1878?) had a change of use in 1929, and again more recently. Now disused and likely to become housing.

Well done johnfilmer, it is indeed 5 South Cliff Parade, Broadstairs.
The Owner/Builder was Francis Edward Howard Paget and was a noted member of Society. He set up the Dorking Brick Company. His ashes were scattered at Sea in front of his Home (Dumpton Gap).

The original grounds had a garden workforce of 25. Some of that was sold off for Building by a later owner.
photos have Google References and English Heritage number.

Beachbum, Agreed, but I cant actually pinpoint the house so it wouldn't be fair to take  it. Hopefully someone can actually find where the house is. I have worn my mouse out trawling around street view trying to find it to no avail.
