Whats up with this flat roof?

Thanks for the great detective work. I dont like the look of the roof, and I guess it would render a loft conversion impossible or difficult.eddddy said:YBR said:I'd guess it's just because the house has been extended to the side.
FWIW, it looks like that house got planning consent for a "single and two storey side extension" in 1973 - so I'd guess that's when the flat roof area was created.
(It looks like the extension was to add a garage, enlarge the kitchen, add downstairs toilet, and rearrange upstairs from 3 bed + 1 bath, to 4 bed + 1 bath + 1 shower)
I guess it might have looked slightly better if the flat roof edging wasn't visible from ground level.

Not sure, I havent viewed it yet. It doesnt look in keeping with the neighbouring houses on the street at all. Just looks plain odd to me.GDB2222 said:akorn77 said:
