A beautifully presented substantial detached seven bedroom house with garage, extensive garden areas and inside swimming pool. In all about 1.47 acres.
Longbridge House ceased operating as a public house in the 1990's and was intended to be run as a hotel but now provides a spacious and character family home in the popular and attractive Yarty Valley.
The extensive accommodation has been tastefully updated over a number of years and whilst providing a single dwelling in its current form may also attract interest from those who may wish to explore the potential for multi-generational living.
Longbridge House occupies an enviable position in the picturesque Yarty Valley, within the Blackdown Hills, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and widely regarded as some of the most attractive countryside in the county.
Whilst being located in the parish of Membury the property lies approximately 1 mile to the north east of the village of Stockland and 2.5 miles to the north west of Membury.

The towns of Axminster and Honiton lie approximately 8 & 7 miles distant respectively with both providing a good range of everyday shopping, educational and banking facilities together with train links to London (Waterloo).
The Somerset county town of Taunton lies approximately 15 miles to the north affording an extensive range of commercial, educational and recreational facilities befitting those of an important regional and administrative centre, together with a wide range of primary, secondary and further education facilities including three noted public schools.
Despite its rural position the property enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield with access to the A30 at Chard & Yarcombe and M5 motorway available at Taunton (J25).
The property benefits from four distinct areas being divided by Longbridge Cross. The grounds provide an attractive mix of formal gardens, parking, orchards and an area of amenity land with frontage onto the River Yarty which provides an array of flora and fauna. Furthermore, within this parcel is a range of dilapidated former stables which are now overgrown but may afford scope for alternative uses, subject to planning.
