I would cut a hole at ceiling level and confirm what way the joists above are running.. If they are running parallel with the wall, then they aren't being held up by it.. it's only a matter of pulling off the boarding and then removing the stud..

The joists are definitely running in the direction of the blue line as I put in a second ceiling light.

Probably should have said. It's a 1950s build so it's a brick wall, not a stud wall.

If it's not supporting any weight, it should probably just come down with a lump hammer. Much quicker and neater than drilling and grinding.
