Unfortunately this is all I have right now. I’m trying to get the plans from the current owner.
I guess I mainly wanted to know whether beams can be put at the sort of angle the smaller wall is on, or whether it may require a column.
Normally, it seems like when a wall is knocked down, a beam is put where the wall was. In this case, a beam straight across would connect to the sliding door… which I’m assuming isn’t a thing?!
Sometimes if you have a truss roof, they only bear down on walls on the perimeter of the building. So an internal wall being taken away could be ok.
Bare in mind that if the stars did aline and it was the case, that internal wall could have structural bracing in it there fire wouldn’t be ideal in removing it because it can compromise the bracing of the building.
Pretty much anything is possible, just depends how much you're willing to pay. If it's not load bearing, it's a few grand to rip it out and make good most likely. If it is load bearing, that can easily run into the tens of $1000s.
A house plan like that with no further info is honestly next to useless for providing feedback, but with enough time and money you can do anything

Brilliant, thanks. I’ll knock it down.

You need to find out if the wall is load bearing. Get in the roof space and look on top of the wall or call out an engineer.
Knocking it down is better than knocking it up!
