The present owner has only been in residence for 2 years and the previous owner for 3 years.

I presume you've already looked into why the last two owners sold on so quickly?

One owner selling after a couple of years could be nothing but two owners selling so quickly would warrant further investigation for many people.

Land near the house has been fenced off and used as an orchard/garden. Google earth shows this land fenced separately as far back as 1999.

Without proof to the contrary you may struggle to convince the council that the fenced off area is "garden". I assume you mean a typical wood and wire fence rather than say a hedge or other ornamental fencing? My plot is four times what you're looking at and none of it is fenced off (except of course on the outer boundary.)

I have no idea why the previous owner sold but the present owner is virtually bankrupt because of his other business interests and the rising interest rates. However the owner before the two mentioned above sold because of a divorce.
