verandah
Roofed outdoor platform
A verandah is a roofed platform along the outside of a house, typically at ground level and partly enclosed by a railing.
The spelling with an h is more common in British English and former British colonies; Americans usually write veranda.
We sat on the verandah watching the storm roll in.
