Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.
Possibly, what is the purpose of the switch on the wall?
That looks like SFCU
Perhaps I should have put 'switch on the wall' in quotes, so it was more obvious it was the OP's description?

I think I can recall @bettz1 proposing to do something similar with the same FCU…

Adding a single socket in garage
How easy would it be to add a single socket for our treadmill? I think the previous home owner has added a double socket, so I'm not sure, would it be possible to run a cable And attach a single socket?

As long as the circuit has RCD protection then yes, if it doesn't you could get an RCD socket or even change the FCU to an RCD type to protect whatever's on the circuit.
I don't like seeing the gardening tools so close to the unprotected cabling, could easily get damaged if not careful.

Looks familiar, is this the shed fed by a 16A MCB?
Yes I did but ended up getting an extension lead instead.I think I can recall @bettz1 proposing to do something similar with the same FCU…

I've still got trouble with the WiFi in the garage, it's be handy to have a plug there as it'll be closer to the kitchen extender.
I think it has lol it's got a fuse switch in the fuse box.
The switch is for the lights
Don't guess, check!
Those are all MCB's, an RCB, or RCBO will have a button marked T or TEST. You need to have one of those, protecting your new socket, or at least use an rcd socket. I would suggest a metal-clad socket, and arranging some form of protection for those cables.
