It was really bad when we moved in (2017) but no visible mould inside cupboards.
Since then I’ve fixed the tap and sink, repaired the gutters and had the chimney stack capped and re-rendered. We’ve also had the boiler/CH system done and no leaks there.
Things aren’t going mouldy, just getting damp and clumping/etc.
I suspect I will also have to pull up the floor at some point but everywhere else in the house I’ve done that, it’s just very dry dirt.Could it be condensation?! It’s a high ceiling and quite open to other rooms/rest of house but there’s no real extraction.

Could well be condensations, although the fact that it is close to an area the other side of the wall/stairs might suggest another cause, although could be coincidence.

In the room itself or coming up through the floor? That area does look under ventilated; caping the chimney off will have closed off an escape route (is it a ventilated cap or not?) and the air bricks are a good distance away for the sub floor, especially if that is a bit of solid flooring at the front.

We've had a similar weird smell thing at ours. I'm kidding myself that it's caused by damp soil dirt under the house that's become damp due to the nature of the rain we had this year.
But I suspect I'll have to pull up the floor at some point to have a look.
