Hello all,
Long time lurker and recently new home owner.
We are renovating our bathroom and looking to gain some space/square off the bathroom (1st floor). We currently have an airing cupboard that is position halfway into the bathroom, now were looking to remove the section that protrudes into the bathroom.
I have all the tools necessary to remove the wall but need some advice on whether or not this wall is load bearing. The joists in both ceiling and loft space run from the front of the house to the back. The wall is built on top of the floor boards and the wall does not have any other walls below it (on ground floor), which I believe indicate it isn't load bearing but I lack the confidence/experience in proceeding with the task.
I have attached a few photos, 1) of bathroom layout, 2) bathroom layout overlaid on the room directly below it, 3) base of wall and 4) wall leading into ceiling. The wall marked with red lines is to be removed and the blue line is a stud partition wall to close the hole left behind.
