It's been almost a year since we moved in...
We have some plans to redo the kitchen, which might involve opening up a bit by taking down a wall between the kitchen and the living room. We are a bit unsure if the wall in question is load-bearing or not, maybe someone who can read plans better can answer that?
The wall is marked with a red arrow, the kitchen was moved already before we moved in, that's why it says bedroom there and not kitchen.
Does it run vertically through the image (that is, from the toilet to the stairs)? In that case, it is probably not load-bearing.
However, the wall that runs between the stairs and the chimney, up towards the toilet and to the right of the toilet, is probably load-bearing.
Thanks for the answer! It's true that the ridge runs from the bathroom towards the stairs... however, what makes it a bit uncertain is that the house is angled. So there is a ridge running perpendicular to the previously mentioned one, over the living room.
If there is a load-bearing beam in the ceiling running straight through the living room, I still believe in my previous answer. If not, it is more uncertain...
Managed to unscrew a hatch to the attic to take a look at how it looks... It seems to match what you said, with a beam in the ceiling right through the living room..
The roof trusses on the main part of the house lack a supporting wall beneath them towards the angle. Therefore, these must be suspended by a beam or equivalent. This beam should be placed directly above the extension of the outer wall down towards the angle, possibly hidden under the insulation. The trusses at the angled part usually "climb" onto the house trusses.
As you have drawn the trusses in the picture, I would also guess that the wall is not load-bearing. But it is then crucial that the beam you are talking about really loads onto the outer wall and not the inner wall.
How thick is the inner wall and do you know how it is constructed?
Now let's see, finagled my way out into the dust...not easy at all, so I hope the pictures will do! ;-)
When I take the pictures, I'm sitting right on the yellow beam that gullegrizen drew on the drawing above.

Hello! Thanks again for your response and help...
Unfortunately, I didn't get the dimensions with me, but there is indeed a beam there. I've made a clumsy attempt to illustrate it in the image below, maybe it can explain a bit how the images are connected.
Red is where the rafters connect to the beam and blue is the beam itself that goes over the living room below.
If it is the case that the beam is located on the outer wall right in the inward corner, as everything seems to indicate, it is highly unlikely that the marked interior wall in post 1 is load-bearing. I can't come up with any reason for it to be load-bearing, but you can never be 100% sure.
