Amazing, thank you everyone for the help. Seems like its well worth giving it a go.

So I will dig up and tee off the 32mm as close to the main flow source as possible. There will then be about a 25m run to the cottage. Should I lay 25mm or 32mm MDPE? The cottage will need less flow and pressure as its plumbing will all be at ground floor. So the choice should be what...

Perfect, thank you so much! That sounds like a feasible plan. The 15l/min is from my garden tap (near the main stop tap) and my kitchen tap (also near). Still a bit of a big job, but true, theres nothing else to do at the moment!

Involves a fair bit of work to do just as a test, digging to excavate, get plumber etc. But guess its maybe worth it for the potential it could save. Feel like it would be highly likely it would have a detrimental effect on the main house, but maybe I will give it a go...

Correct, tee off supply, run new supply or try and go off grid! Property is attached to main house, so pipe run from tee would be about 25m (have to go round a shed).

I am looking to reinstate a water supply into a small two bed cottage that is attached to my 4 bed house. There used to be an old shared lead supply that covered both properties. In 2008 they updated the main house to a new MDPE blue pipe, and left the cottage condemned and with no water supply...
