Hi, hope you're all keeping well.
We're hoping to open up the under stairs pantry doorway in our 1895 terrace house to accommodate a fridge, but are unsure if the timber wall is load-bearing.
We actually had it boarded and plastered when we moved in, so I can't upload a picture, but the timber is basically heavy duty vertical lengths butted up against each other in a row.
I've never come across a wall like it, so I was wondering if it was basically how they made stud walls back then or if it's just a poor job from many years ago?
