Kinda funny when I first viewed that house nobody mentioned the ability to drive a car in to the rear garden.
It could be that they don't actually have a right to use the service street, in which case that might explain why it wasn't mentioned. Or it could just be standard baseline incompetence.

Presumably the safe way to do things would be to ask the vendors if anyone objects to them using the service street, them should I try to buy the place, make it clear that any offer is based on the assumption that some kind of right to use (through use as you say or otherwise) is in place, then make sure the solicitors do their job in determining this.
The GIS map is interesting as it highlights the weird rear access arrangements some of the houses have around the area. Seems to be a common thing in North Ealing.

You can see that the service road gives access to rear access to several houses on that street.

That’s awesome, thank you.
