walls can be load bearing because they are essential to support tanks in the attic 'or to join your joists on as well as the the roof so many things make them load bearing

You can normally tell if you have load bearing walls ( ie brick/blocks ) by tapping on the walls, hollow-ish noise means plaster board/lath and plaster.
i would say, if the internal walls are studwork or paramount or similar then the walls are simply partitions.
if on the other hand you have a masonry wall at or fairly near the centre of the bungalow, then this wall may be offering some lateral restraint to the outside walls.
stud walls can be supporting too, but this usually applies to traditional cut roofs, where the joist layout requests it.
