Horrific!
The only words to describe that so-called "porch" is a wart, carbuncle or growth.
A seasoned architect would weep at such a frightening disregard of all things flowing and pure.
To put such a hideous obstacle at such an important junction (valley) on the main roof beggars belief.
I can't see why the roof (second and third images) needs that additional kick at the bottom. It looks wrong and unnecessary.
The roof tiling and fascia/soffit was carried out by a blind Arab on a galloping camel.

Nothing looks worse than laying marley moderns without a broken bond.
What a shoddy job, love the mitre on the porch

Photoshopped - badly
It's very real and worse it's a corner plot between two main roads. Every man and his dog sit and stare at it whilst waiting at the traffic lights. Such a shame. I'm trying to work out if the homeowner did it himself or he paid someone to do it.
It certainly is bad, but it would have been possible for it to look pretty good with just a little effort.
One thing puzzles me though, why is the porch roof sitting at least a course and maybe two too low? It is causing the horrible problem with the fascia. Do those windows even open fully?
On the first picture there is a vertical line to the right of the porch where there is a noticable colour difference in the bricks. Is that a trick of the light or is it actually a joint because to me it looks like the bed joints don't run true.

another point about porch being lower as it does look the water will pool and overflow as its up hill to the down pipe
apart from that it looks absolutely fine --------------
i may reveiw my thought and opinions when the several gallons off beer i have consumed today have worn off but at present that house looks very sexy

Hmm weird, maybe it steps in to the house? I'll drive past again and have a look.
Something else too.......
Straight bonded tiles!!!!

Maybe due to their wall construction method, i.e. no inner skin of blockwork to take higher perhaps.
Regardless the outer brickwork could have still done a similar job.
No soffit over-hang either - now that really does looks pants.
I will bet you that a window fitter built that roof.
