The field might have had a storage shed which you could have slept in - in London once converted that is classed now as a pied de terre and sold for £300k.

Once conversion started, that would be a dwelling, before then, not.

Just saying it's open to interpretation as the land registry data may be wrong. My sister actually inherited two fields when her godfather died outside the UK where cows were grazed and there was a barn and milking hut - hence my interest. In bad weather the cows slept in the barn - so it was residential housing for cows.

Cows don't count.
If someone actually lived in a shed or barn, then it was a dwelling, otherwise, unlikely to be. There has been at least one case of an extremely luxurious cowshed in an attempt to get a home on agricultural land, but I doubt that genuine agricultural buildings would be considered dwellings.

HI. I understand what you are asking as I am in the a similar position and have been advised by various parties that when I was ready again to get on the property ladder there are some schemes that will allow me to act and take advantage of as a first time buyer because I have no deposit from previous properties, I am renting a property that is my main address and I don not and have not owned a property for over 5 years. (in my case I got well and truly crauhed in the banking crash of 2008 and am only just recovering). So this is a question I am also asking. Its just identifying which schemes/banks will help people back onto the housing ladder. I would have thought there must be some as this is not suppose to be mutually exclusive its just there is a small number who fall between the cracks. I am particularly keen as renting is wasting a lot of my potential deposit money.
