7 Newbridge House Newbridge House occupies an elevated position, with southerly views over its landscaped gardens to the city and beyond towards Seven Acre Wood and Newton St. Loe. The Grade II listed house is constructed of Bath stone elevations and a slate tiled roof in a classic Colonial style.

Immaculately presented, this substantial family residence provides elegant, generously proportioned accommodation over three floors, together with a self contained apartment. The exceptionally generous entrance hall leads to the main reception rooms, including the drawing room and withdrawing room which are connected by wedding doors. Both rooms have direct access to a sizeable balcony. The games room, one of the home offices which has a balcony, and the cinema can also be reached from the entrance hall. The contemporary style kitchen and the dining room, with an original bread oven, on the lower ground floor provide a generous space for entertaining, and lead out to a wonderful south facing terrace which is partly colonnaded and ideal for alfresco dining. The utility room, the home gym, a large guest bathroom and additional cloakroom are also found on this level, together with a walk in fridge and large wine cellar. The seven bedrooms are located on the first floor, all of which have en suite bath/shower rooms.
