Description
Holland End is a Grade II listed house built from flint stone on the cliffs of Kingsgate Bay near Broadstairs. The building displays traditional architectural features and occupies a prominent position overlooking the bay.
History
The house was built in the 1760s for Henry Fox, First Lord Holland, with architect Thomas Wynn designing the structure. Interior design work by prominent figures like Robert Adam later enhanced the property's sophistication.
