The Bradbury Jewell House is a historic house on Ferncroft Road in Sandwich, New Hampshire. The 1-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1802-3 by Bradbury Jewell, who had first surveyed the area as a young man, and who built one of the first houses in neighboring Tamworth. The house is fairly small (30' by 40'), five bays wide, with a central chimney. There is a small gable-roofed ell attached to the east side of the house. Its central entry is flanked by sidelight windows; the house otherwise has vernacular styling, but is remarkably little changed since its construction. It sits on a 10-acre (4.0 ha) lot, along with a barn built in 1805, and a garden shed built c. 1975.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
