agree  Donna Sandin: To take care of the "anexas" I might use "adjacent premises" in that case because "anexas" may be a significant factor

agree  Donna Sandin: this is also a good term - to me it's a toss-up, but again the "anexas" needs to be translated in the instance where it appears

agree  Mainn: Facilities is a better word as it entails something built/designed for a specific purpose/function or to provide a service, while the word premises denotes a property/land or buildings within an area.

  -> Thanks for recognizing this, Mainn..I always think of "premises" as more general, as in "on the premises."

Outbuildings


Explanation:
I think this is the expression in UK English for premises attached or partially attached to the main building, for whatever purpose.
