Potheridge, Manor estate in Merton, United Kingdom.

The manor retains original elements from its grand mansion structure, including a classical staircase and two substantial 17th-century door frames in Devon countryside.

Documented in the Domesday Book of 1086, Potheridge belonged to Baldwin de Moels, Sheriff of Devon, with Alberi registered as the tenant of the estate.

The wooden overmantel inside the building contains decorative elements showing five putti within floral arrangements, representing the return of monarchy to England.

The estate functions as an outdoor activity center for young people, operated by Encompass Training, maintaining six acres of the initial property.

George Monck, First Duke of Albemarle, transformed the original manor house into a grand mansion around 1660, though much was later demolished after 1734.
