Mamhead House, Manor house in Mamhead, Devon, England.

Built between 1827 and 1833, Mamhead House features nine bays with battlemented roofs and stands near the English Channel with views of the surrounding landscape.

The Mamhead estate, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, belonged to Ralph de Pomeroy before passing through several families including the Carews and Balls.

The interior includes a long axial gallery that displayed statues of English monarchs and notable Tudor figures, representing the historical preservation of British heritage.

The Grade I listed building spans 164 acres of land and requires specific maintenance procedures due to its protected status under British heritage regulations.

Thomas Ball's eighteenth-century exotic tree plantations on the estate led his gardener, Thomas Lucombe, to establish a significant plant nursery in Exeter.
