The Discovery
In November 2020, our journey into the enchanting world of the Bothy and Walled garden began. It all started when Mark was invited to visit the Burderop Park development near Marlborough in Wiltshire. As he walked through the site, a cold and dreary day couldn't dampen his excitement. The vision of the walled garden captured his imagination, and he discovered that it was part of a larger plan to sell the Bothy house with a small piece of land for an approved extension.
Plan by City & Country for planning permission. The top is the old existing Bothy building, and the lower part is the new extension into the garden built on an old greenhouse foundation.
With a lifelong dream of owning a walled garden, Mark knew this was an opportunity not to be missed. The potential of this space, even in its current state, was undeniable. Our passion for the Bothy and the garden's rich history ignited a deep curiosity that day. Mark bid on the property immediately before I even had a chance to see it in person, and we began delving into the captivating story of Burderop and eagerly sought out every detail about the garden and Bothy's past. This research became the foundation of our quest to revive and restore this remarkable place.
Stay tuned as we unravel the mysteries of the Bothy and Walled Garden, sharing the tales, challenges, and triumphs along the way. Join us as we breathe new life into this hidden gem and bring our shared dreams to fruition.
