A commuter town on the southern edge of Hertfordshire, much of it built out in the 1930s. Much of Potters Bar was built out in the 1930s, so semi-detached and detached houses of that period are common, and many have hipped roofs.
Interwar houses often have a side or integral garage that suits a conversion into a room. Interwar semis and detached houses frequently have hipped roofs and reasonable ridge heights, which gives a surveyor more design options than a typical modern roof.
