Remove Supporting Wall Cost

I’m trying to get an idea of some renovation costs for a house I’m looking at buying.
The house has had its kitchen extended to form a kitchen / utility. There is still an arch between the two rooms which I’d like to remove. I’m assuming the arch is supporting - how much would it cost to remove the arch and embed the support in existing walls? I’m also assuming this is possible as I’ve seen similar work done in identical houses.

An actual load bearing arch is very old school. Are you sure? Is this a building from the middle ages?0
