It belongs to the house next to mine (to the south in the picture). It's exactly as you described, looks a shared driveway but very much classed as 2 separate, my land and their land.It looks an odd driveway because there's then a visible gap to the left which you'd assume was another boundary, where does the house exist for this driveway.
It looks shared, but if it's like ours it's not classed as a shared drive. Whilst they exist side-by-side, each neighbour owns their respective half with no rights over the other half.
A shared driveway was typically a thing for older houses that had garages at the rear, and a single width driveway going between the houses for access. In these situations both neighbours would have equal rights, and typically a covenant would be in place to prevent parking/blocking someone in.
