Depends what you mean by useful. Do you need another bedroom? What about a study etc?
Whatever, I would recommend moving the radiator onto the wall between the door and the shelving or maybe into the corner by the fireplace.

Sofa bed in front of the rad, little desk in the spare alcove?

Removing the fireplace makes the room easier to use I suppose but it’s a decent chunk of work.
If it were me I’d removed the chimney breast and get someone to build a full wall of storage including a pull down bed and probably a fold out desk. Intervention did a nice job in a similar room in the Barbican

We have a spare bedroom. We'd like to make it a nice space, but currently its a dumping ground because as it stands you can't really do anything with it. Which is a shame because it has a nice balcony overlooking the park.
What would you do / move / remove to make it a useful space as a spare bedroom? For scale, a double bed frame will just go in the spare alcove but obviously would prevent access to the balcony.
