  • 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

    This is roughly where I am with it at the moment. Do you have a link to the example? (edit, it's this, right?) I trawled Rightmove looking at other houses in the street but they all seemed to be putting up with the existing layout resulting in a nice room looking cluttered and annoying to be in.

  • Built-in wall could also go on the other wall, I'd imagine it's easier to relocate a radiator than removing the chimney?

  • It is, yes, however the room, whilst not exactly narrow, has been reduced in width by a previous taking a slice off it to put storage in the hallway. With a short double bed you will probably just have enough space to walk round the end of the bed and between the existing fireplace (it will look a bit goofy though). Anything longer and it won't work.

    Also I think in what was the dining room below we will remove the chimney there too so it will make sense to get rid of this one as well. Will keep the fireplaces in the lounge and the bedroom above it though.
