Not a local Lightship, but gave it's name to the House after a shipping incident involving the House Owners.

The Owner (+Wife) of the property had set up their own Brick Company after Military Service.

They were known for the Quality of Bricks and eventually built this property. Also famed for a magnificent collection of fine art and a generous benefactor to many causes.

Were these normal sized bricks, or are we looking at a model?

Half a Million special bricks were used for the House and grounds. There was a direct connection to the Owner.

It overlooks the sea in the area that grandarog mentions.
Always a private House, built in 1927.
"Bricks" is a clue.
It's name is connected to a shipping incident

Found it but will hold off for a while.  No idea of the name of the place or whether it's private of a care home though.

I think I have seen it along the coast somewhere coming home from Margate or Ramsgate.
