I didn’t even see the door. If the intention was to provide a porch along with shade for that window there were other options that would add so much more. A verandah with a bench and shallow steps for example.GaleSF63 said:

That’s so weird. If you go up and down the road you get the before and after. A bit like a hologram.1

Good quality fake grass here. They also seem to have a dishwasher blocking half the patio doors, presumably because the kitchen is too small to fit it properly.

The whole estate is quite a strange place, architecturally and certainly worth a virtual drive about in. Looks almost as if a social housing builder has tried to design mansions and has ended up with buildings that resemble small blocks of flats.user1977 said:

The rogue portico may have a function as a rain diverter, if the addition of the dormer window has somehow affected the flow of water down the main span of the roof. Only a suggestion, mind, it is a mysterious addition.0 -

But looking at the front of the house, "lawn care" is not their field of expertise.
The other side of the patio doors is also blocked by what I think is a tumble dryer.1
