Am I missing some insulation?

[wedge69]

I was having a poke in the loft looking for leaks after the awful weather yesterday and noticed that the insulation is about six inches short of the gable end.

Was this done intentionally or should I be adding some? What issues is the lack of insulation causing?

Thanks!

It makes sense to keep it clear of the eaves for ventilation, rather than the gable.
I doubt you would notice that small percentage of area not being covered.

It should be full in that location.

I'll try and plug the gap. The space is currently above a bathroom that suffers from condensation on the wall and ceiling, and I'm guessing the missing insulation isn't helping.
