Hi, we've had this opening since we had the house built in 95- we removed the doors soon after, making more of a lounge-dining room than separates. Wifey has pronounced by edict that the hole is to be doubled, because, "It will be nice."
The wall is timber, and load bearing, as is the 'lintel' above the door. There is no steel.
Will a beam be needed; and if so (as I suspect) how will the timber beam be removed- memory says it's multiple nailled timbers across the opening. The wall is 4" thick.
Thanks.
