Ah! my misinterpertation of the picture.
The sockets is the switch to the left of CH
That's the reset switch for the RCD. The sockets are likely on one of the MCBs to the left of that RCD

There's something screwy here. If the switch you are referring to is the RCD switch then it reads like both the Kitchen and rest oh the House are connected to the same sub circuit. If this is the case then you could use Poweline to get through the stone wall. Whilst fitting Ethernet is by far the best solution, this might be worth a try. To check this out do the test again but this time ONLY switch off the MCB breakers. Leave the RCD ones ON.
Regardless of the outcome, once you can get the signal through the stone wall, to get a seamless reception to all parts of the property I would recommend upgrading the router to a mesh system. This is not a cheap solution, no doubt others will recommend other aproaches. This requires you to replace the Plusnet Hub 2 with one of the units and enter your Plusnet Username and Password. This might sound daunting but isn't!
As an example, one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-Deco-802-11ax-Standard-Compatible/dp/B0CPMBLJW2/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1HG...
You would then need to connect the master, that's the unit in place of the Hub 2, to one of the other mesh units, either by Ethernet or Powerline. I would suggest buying a couple of Powerline units from the likes of Amazon, who have an excellent returns service, and giving it a try. If it's not up to scratch then send them back and install Ethernet.
As both the Garden Room and Kitchen are outside of the 'dead zone', with careful placement these should interconnect wirelessly.
