If a terraced house (in an area popular with first time buyers) has a

i.e. add more to the value of the property than the cost of
constructing the roof

Anyone have any opinions?

I can't see why it would. The more likely scenario is that it would
detract from the value if the flat roof were in a poor state of
repair.

Is the kitchen extension of relatively recent construction with a
felted roof? Is it possible that the foundations and construction
are adequate for a room to built on it at first floor level?

This would need building regulations approval and probably planning
permission, but if the potential is there it could be a selling point
but probably not lead to a higher price.
