Edges of a roof (5)

I believe the answer is:

eaves

(Other definitions for eaves that I've seen before include "Roof projection" , "Projecting edge of a roof" , "Part of a building's roof that overhangs the walls" , "what might constitute a hangover?" , "Overhanging edge of roof" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
