Hi
My property has a corridor type hallway with numerous cupboards built in.
One of which is in a corner near the front door. It's quite useful for coats and it also hides the consumer unit. It makes the area quite narrow though and limits space at the foot of the stairs.
Just considering removing it as I'm redecorating the hall and putting in new flooring.

I've also had an aircon unit installed above the door so would need to look into disconnecting it temporarily.
Amy ideas appreciated.

    I would still get it checked by a structural engineer.

    I have a couple of stud walls here that don't appear to be supporting anything. Remove them at your peril - Two support an upstairs ceiling, another on the ground floor, joists from a room above plus the top of the stairs.
