Any advice for hunting lead flashing issues?
I'm assuming some bricks are sponging water from one side of the roof as the damp stain appears lower down the wall (halfway down in the loft space). I can also see what looks like badly overlapped lead sections.
Anyone got any tips? Or do I have to climb on the roof and randomly investigate?

Agreed, it was wonderful. Although I expect they introduced some of the creatures themselves.
You can retrofit any building to Passivhaus standards. There were a few players trying to do just that with huge outer envelopes ~10 years ago, but surprise surprise they didn't get much traction in the UK.
If a key driver was reduction in energy consumption, why is there a wood stove and exhaust poking out the roof of it? Fail.
