Mortgage - Property used for commercial purposes?

Hi all, just wondering if you can help. We've applied for our mortgage and have it approved in principal. I had started a website freelancing business last year and had registered it as a private company with Companies House. The registered and trading address I used was my house address. I've only worked a couple of jobs here and there using my company.
With regards to the mortgage, there is a question in the questionnaire which asks if any part of the property is used for commercial or agricultural activity. I am not too sure what to answer here. Because the company trading and registered address is linked to my home address, would I have to answer Yes to this question? What are the implications of doing so?
