Insurance for log cabin granny annexe

Does anyone have recommendations for an insurance company which will cover a self contained log cabin annexe (for parental use).  Preferably a stand alone policy separate from the main house, but any considered.  Many thanks.

    Does it have its own address or is it just the shed in your garden?
    Is it just contents cover or you needing buildings too?

    The issue won't be just getting a policy for a sub address but ensuring you aren't forced to include it under your own home insurance too (you normally cannot pick and choose which bits are declared on your home insurance)

    Unless it is totally stand alone and not dependent on household utilities it would probably be cheaper to include it as ancillary accommodation on your household policy
