    Is it that colour now (
    spring in the UK) or in Autumn?

    If it's autumn it could be Virginia Creeper.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Hi. I’m not 100% sure... (The picture is from Google street view). I vaguely recall it being green now - (spring uk)

    Virginia creeper can be a problem.  It clings to paintwork/plastic, and can enter lofts.  Better have a look.
     location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand.

    Hope it's not in the roof.
