Flint House, Harbour Street, Broadstairs, Kent, Untited Kingdom

---

Flint House was built in 1720 when the two shipwright families of Broadstairs joined forces. Mary Culmer married Joseph Wright and Flint House was built for their marital home. This was a clever move because from the bedroom windows Joseph could see the jetty – where the boats were being built. He could do a body count and make sure that his workers were keeping themselves busy! The house has five floors including a mezzanine. It is situated on a hill so you can come in through the front door, go down two flights of stairs into the kitchen and still be able to open the back door onto Harbour Street.
