We thought maybe for an au pair, lol.
That house is literally round the corner from mine and the design of houses round here is different to Coppermill, they have flatter roofs which are hidden behind a parapet, which means you can do stuff like that when you couldn't with a 'normal' shaped house because it can't be seen from the road. This is an aerial view of our street which shows you what I mean:

Was the terrace fully outside or internal (got a link)? Cos I reckon the council wouldn't let you have an actual terrace at that height due to overlooking issues.
Soz to be a Debbie downer but have already considered this sort of thing a lot myself. Who knows what wacky schemes architects could come up with to get it past planning though :)
