The black dog is called Nana Carol. She belongs to Darling mentioned in the message. I think the other is stray.

Seriously, who is the P.C. addressed to?  Could be a clue. He he/she sign it?

It isn't addressed to anyone...the only thing written on the back is the message. Nana...of course...why didn't I think of that...The Darling Family lived there  ;D

During that era was places of interest names, not put on postcards

Or is it a postcard size photograph

Have you posted the written message😊

The windows are very similar in this property(and is it my imagination or is there a triple chimney too,given this is the front elevation and the original the rear?).No doubt wishful thinking as usual.
It may be Kilndown House,Kent.

Mmm...worth some consideration Roger...thanks for your interest and for taking the time to search...it was bought in King's Lynn but it could look very different now if it still exists..

Not always...this is dated 1906 and as a collector...many of mine have no location printed on them with early dates, if they have it is usually commercial photo postcards for the tourist industry...Here is a scan of the back in case you are in any doubt.
