I'm moving into a house that in the upstairs rooms the corners of the ceilings have an angle cutting across the corners where wall meets ceiling. I assume this is the rafters making this angle and was wondering what type of roof this is called and why they were built like this. Any info would be gratefully received.

it`s a skeiling :idea: why built ? maybe just a design feature
 
A collar-braced roof.

Done like that to save 3 or 4 courses of brick all round.
 
Can make insulation difficult as obviously it cannot be insulated in the usual way with loft insulation.
