Default Removing wallpaper which has been painted over

The vinyl wallpaper in my kitchen has been painted over with white
emulsion by the previous owner.
I sense that this may be a swine to strip back to plaster.
Am I right or will lashings of water & a hand paper stripper do the
job?
1970s house, so I expect the base plaster to be mostly intact!
