1.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (5) and paragraph 2, a residence together with land connected with that residence.
(2) In this paragraph, subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (4), land is connected with a residence if—

(b)every part of the land can be reached from the residence without having to cross land which is not owned by that single owner.
(3) Sub-paragraph (2)(b) is satisfied where a part of the land cannot be reached from the residence by reason only of intervening land in other ownership on which there is a road, railway, river or canal, provided that the additional requirement in sub-paragraph (4) is met.
(4) The additional requirement referred to in sub-paragraph (3) is that it is reasonable to think that sub-paragraph (2)(b) would be satisfied if the intervening land were to be removed leaving no gap.
