Default Water dripping from woodwork

I recently noticed a damp patch on the concrete floor at the front of
the house. The boiler is installed in the loft and the condensate drain
has been poked out of the loft to empty the condensate onto the roof,
where it makes its way down to the guttering and off on its merry way.

I assumed that the guttering was full of leaves and just needed
clearing but it's clear - then I discovered that the water/condensate
is not getting as far as the guttering and is actually dripping from
the woodwork. The end of the condensate pipe and the location where
I've seen drips forming are both arrowed in the two photos below:

What's likely to be the problem? What's behind that woodwork and in the
'overhanging' section - just empty space?
