Newbridge House & Traditional Farm

Dublin

Built in 1737 for Archbishop Cobbe and extended in 1760 by Lady Elizabeth Beresford to display her husband’s art collection, Newbridge stands in its own farm.

This delightful 18th century manor is set on 350 acres of parkland. 12 miles north of Dublin city centre and boasts one of the finest Georgian interiors in Ireland. Each room open to the public has its own style of antique and original furniture - indeed the house appears more or less as it did 150 years ago. The house was built in 1740 to a design by James Gibbs for the Archbishop of Dublin and contains elaborate stucco plasterwork by Robert West.

The period atmosphere of the house is further accentuated by the presence of a fully restored courtyard, surrounded by a dairy, estate workers house, carpenters shop and a blacksmiths forge, all displaying nineteenth century tools and implements. The grounds also contain a 29 acre traditional farm, complete with farmyard animals, a delight to any young visitor and perfect for school tours and large groups.
