Wooody smell suggests mold which does suggest damp I'm afraid.

Went the visit the place we buying yesterday and something I noticed is in the main bedroom is a rather strong woody odour. It's hard to describe. Not a damp smell, kinda old wood barn like smell. The floor is currently just the original floorboards which aren't sanded or filled as far as I can see. Some fairly big gaps between some of them (8mm)
Curiously the other two bedrooms have the same flooring but don't have the smell.
Could it be a sign of some underlying issue? Am thinking I might need to lift up the floor boards and give it a good clean and hopefully it will die down?
We are going to eventually either sand and fill the floor boards, or carpet it all. Not sure which yet.
