Restoring Charm and Craft: Trafalgar Garden Cottage

Set within a once-overgrown walled garden beside the River Avon, and just a stone’s throw from Standlynch Mill, Trafalgar Garden Cottage has found a new chapter in its long history. Once part of the Grade I listed Trafalgar House estate, this charming building had stood neglected for years. Now, as part of a wider project to reinvigorate the historic garden with flower cultivation and renewed life, the cottage has been carefully restored and extended—and Salisbury Joinery is proud to have played a key role in its transformation.
