My H is a Hot House - one of those Victorian ones with a Gardener's Bothy with a firegrate/boiler in the corner that heated the water for the pipework in the Hothouse.
Some friends bought a Gardener's Cottage which had been part of a large mansion house (now derelict). The Cottage came with the walled garden and it was my dream garden, full of features waiting to be discovered..
The Bothy /Potting house was a lean-to brick building outside the walls with a little door through into the garden. The Pipework from the Bothy ran between the 2 layers of brickwork that formed the walls and there were vents at strategic points alongside some metal plant tags with the names of fruit trees - a few trees remained although not near the tags!. The Pipes emerged in a lean to hothouse, with a tiled floor and an old grapevine.
I'd have loved the garden but would need the Gardener to help me maintain it.
