Its not too big, I'd guess 100m2. It has a 3m2 fish pond in the middle
and about another 12m2 is flagged for a sunny area, plus a couple of
gravel paths running through it, so there isn't a huge amount.

I don't want to flag or gravel it though, I'm thinking of digging some
new french drains to my sump, however, If there was a more hardy type
of grass, I would try that first.

maybe too big for what I was thinking, essentially, some form of raised
wooden terracing/decking across the worst part of the bog that you could
somehow link up with the better part of the garden. If the garden slopes
down it might make a nice feature to terrace from the door out across the
boggy parts and grade it back into ground level of the 'good' garden. The
deck would only need to be a few inchs off the earth and you could
incorporate the fish pond into it. It would take some building and cost a
bit in timber. It is one way of retiring really boggy areas of garden though
and could make a nice outdoor area for entertaining/recreation etc.
