I live in a dormer bungalow and wish to knock down a stud wall between the kitchen and another small room in order to enlarge the kitchen. The wall is plasterboard over a wood frame. I don't need to knock the whole wall down but enough to give a wide entry with an arch if possible. My problem is that I'm not sure if this is a retaining wall.

I would appeal for some knowledgeable advice as I will not attempt to do this until I know for sure.
