If it's like ours you may have to grit your teeth and force it out.

Then offer it back and make some shallow cut-outs about 1 cm deep and 3 cm long at the front top edge of the sides. Then when you to raise the front as you put it back on the runners, the little wheels will have room to roll over each other. 

Difficult to explain, but it does work and you will have no further trouble.

See this thread for photos of what I did.  https://www.autosleeper-ownersforum.com/t21139-drawer-below-wardrobe#179882

On my Gloucester, pull the draw fully out then lift the front and wiggle to release the roller wheel out of the track. May be the same on the Bourton?

We have AS Devon and the drawer under the wardrobe cannot be removed by any of the above methods. 
To remove drawer remove all six screws holding the metal runners,(three each side) start with screws at back of drawer nearest wardrobe, the weight of the back of drawer will be supported by the wardrobe, take weight of drawer whilst removing the last two screws (a short phillips screwdriver might help). replace in reverse order.

Ours nearly came to that Lucy.  rolleyes

I would agree with all of your advice except the last bit. I'd suggest doing the modification I posted earlier, then you will have no further problems. The cut-outs can't possibly be seen until the next time the drawer is removed, so it's not a cosmetic issue.
