Merley House, English country house in Poole, England.
The mansion features two main floors with symmetrical windows, constructed of Portland stone with a central entrance and balanced proportions throughout its structure.
Ralph Willett commissioned the construction of Merley House between 1751 and 1760, later adding two wings in 1772 to accommodate his expanding book collection.
The residence served as a meeting place for artists and scholars in the 18th century, with botanical artist Georg Ehret creating works during summer stays.
Merley House functions as an event venue, offering spaces for weddings and celebrations, with access available through scheduled appointments.
The original library contained specialized compartments and decorative arabesques, reflecting Ralph Willett's dedication to preserving literature and art collections.
