Cracks around concrete lintel

[thewelshone]

Hi all

I’m a complete novice looking for some advice after spotting some cracking around a concrete lintel on a dormer bungalow (mid 60s built).

Is this something I should be concerned about? Recently spotted it although there’s no telling how long it’s been there. It can be seen both internally & externally. In the inside picture the ceiling has recently been plastered to remove polyesterine tiles and it’s plaster runs not water that can be seen.

Any help or advice really appreciated. Thanks.

Because the crack is at the corner and appears to go all the wall through AND near the corner of the house, i would get it checked out by an SE.

Looks like its been repaired right where the cracking has occurred. It's a '60s monstrosity alright. What possessed them to having it protruding like that is anyone's guess. Also, it may be a continuation of the internal lintel...?
