I believe the PAF used to contain rural addresses in isolated
villages where there were no street names or house numbers.
Instead, the Building Name field in PAF was set to a parenthisised
surname.

No idea if such entries still exist in PAF.

There are parts of the country where the lack of street addresses is quite
widespread. Round Llandrindod Wells, I think.

Do you mean that there is neither a street name nor a building
number/name? That seemed to be the situation that Roy described,
otherwise they wouldn't have needed to use the present occupier's name.
