Yup unfortunately the house is in a conservation area and adding mass to the first floor is going to be tricky and that makes a pitched roof tricky, does the rear of your pitch fall back towards the house or joined to the wall at its apex?
Tenderloin-
it's a false pitched roof and has a flat roof behind it (well, a gentle slope for drainage and an exit point for water rather than completely flat).
The glass pyramid thing sits on the flat roof behind the pitch. Hold on, let me see if i can find another pic
EDIT: a selection of pics to show the pyramid on the flat roof behind the pitched tiles

I only saw the first colour pic and thought 'why don't they go all the way across the back?' then I saw the second pic and thought 'fugly'.
I had a similar extension all the way across the back on a similar red brick house but we had a pitched roof which IMO looks nicer.
So my preference would be all the way across but try to make it look more attractive.
Will try to dig out some pics
