In the basement of the property is the site of the old watermill. Here you will find ample space for a workshop/storage and part of it is currently used as a gym.

To the side of the property is a separate stone built double garage with electronic roller doors.

Outside The delightful and peaceful gardens are a haven for wildlife including kingfishers and ducks. The leat from Winford Brook, which used to power the old mill, meanders through. The landscaped gardens are two tiered with a gravel path leading from the kitchen terrace to the lower level and there is a sunny lawned area with timber summer house on the higher level. A variety of mature trees including a flowering cherry and Acers can be found as well as mature shrubs and flowers. At night, outdoor lighting illuminates the garden’s features, including the leat.

History Issues Mill was built as a mill and a storage house for the adjacent flour mill and dates from early 1750s. It is believed the mill ceased working in the 1920s. The mill and millhouse were rebuilt as private residences in the 1980s. Issues Mill was also extended in the 1980s to create the spacious and light accommodation on offer today.

Location Issues Mill is just a stone’s throw from the centre of Chew Magna, within easy reach of a wide array of amenities including the village primary school, St Andrews Church and the popular pub, The Queen’s Arms. The village has a selection of shops and businesses including cafes, two further pubs, a butcher, a hairdresser, supermarket, and post office.
