That's where you want the insulation. It's fine.

If Done properly can work very well, any leaks in the roof wont show and will rot things fast. Check the fine home building website for more info. They can be problem"attic".

I inspected an attic like that one summer day on the Chesapeake. It was the most comfortable attic I've ever been in. No need to worry about sealing the hatch or nothing.
It sure can look odd but it does the trick. The trick is to insulate the entire building envelope. This way there is no air and moisture migration between enclosed insulated and un-insulated areas.
