    Please see the floor plans attached:





    Just to add that all the windows were replaced about 2 years ago and the beam was installed over 5 years ago.

    Looks like a cavity wall between the bedrooms over the kitchen, which is an internal wall. Agents floor plans are not always 100% accurate though.

    Upon closer look I have also noticed cracks on the other side of the (the wall opposite the upper floor cracks on the 1st floor).

    It is quite some movement but I wonder whether this could be from the replacing of the windows or something else like subsidence.

    I have contacted local SE and awaiting a reply.

    It will be interesting to hear what the SE comes up with. Normally, jettying is done with a timber frame, so it's possible that with a timber bay it was just about stable enough.
