Workshop Insurance

I am in the process of building my own workshop for personal hobbies. I rent the land it is on, but I own the building and am responsible for the services (electric). It's in a remote location but quite secure; I was curious about insurance for it & it's contents - it's going to to be for domestic use only, nothing commercial.
I had a look at a few of the MSE Insurance websites but they all state that if the outbuilding (workshop) is on your property you may be able to get in included on your house insurance - then that's all they talk about. It's not, and I don't know where to look without trawling through every insurance agent/website.
Any suggestions please?

Comparison sites are never going to cover a situation like this, they deal with mainstream properties and this is far away from that. It's clearly something that you would be best to talk to a broker about, although you might have to try a few to find one who will be able to get you some quotes.

I expect commercial insurance of some sort is going to be your best bet - it just doesn't fit within any typical domestic scenario.0
