Sorry its a load bearing wall question

[bearC]

Hi, iv'e just started the process of buying a house.
One of the improvements we would like to do is take a wall down to open up the space . During the viewing the estate agent did say its just a stud wall, so i would assume its not load bearing . But how can i tell for sure ?

No idea if this is any help but heres some pics

Key:

Red triangles > the direction of the apex in the roof

Blue line > is the wall we would like to remove(just a stud wall according to estate agen)

Yellow line > is how the room would look after the wall has been removed

F > front of the house

B > back of the house

The only way to know for sure is lifting the carpet in the rooms above and seeing which way the floor boards run, the joists will run the opposite direction, then determine if they're sitting on the wall you want to take down. Taping on a wall and saying it's a stud wall is not conclusive.

BTW your plans don't seem to line up to me, how can the bathroom be wider at the back? And shouldn't the winders on the first floor be going the other way?

They are the plans from the estate agents but
Theres an alley between the houses part of the bathroom goes above it. The stairs on the ground are the wrong direction and have a wind at the bottom aswell

Do not accept that a stud wall is not load bearing, sometimes they are and have a different construction
