If you give the money to your children you will be deemed to have deprived yourself of assets if you need care in the future.
If you do move in to this annex you need to decide what would happen if your daughter predeceased you or your wife and your son in law remarried. Could you bear to stay living there?
If your house and garden are too much for you I would urge you to downsize, perhaps to a flat with one bedroom and keep your finances separate from your children’s. A family friend of my parents was in the position where both hers sons died before her and , thankfully , she had kept her own house despite both her sons offering her the chance to move in with them.
