Would have to padlock it around the frame for it to be secure.

As to ground anchor, it's security depends on the firmness of the soil.

I would say it depends on how soft the ground is, someone strong with soft ground could likely just rip that out the ground.

How are you planning to lock the bike to this? If is it just the wheel as in the pictures then it would also be very easy for someone to just take the bike missing one wheel.

Is it not possible to lock it inside the house?

I would use a long chain and rest it on the fence.

I am in a houseshare, so would rather not store it in a communal area.

I will look into storing it in the tiny storage room, might be able to put it in there with the wheels pointing up.
 
If the ground anchor was longer at 750mm -1000mm in length, then I would think it would be extremely hard to pull out, if not impossible.
 
That's shockingly pointless - dig underneath, saw it off, 5 minutes gone

Get a concrete mounted one but level the concrete off a few inches below turf level, then when you end your tenancy, chuck a square of turf over the concrete.
