Cheers. Feels doable. I honk I’ve worked out how to screw into wall too - drill opening in side, drill wall, insert wall plug and screw large screw in with washer larger than hole in cabinet. Or have I missed something?

You can use a frame fixing where you drill the cabinet then the wall and hammer the fixing in. I like to take a bit more time and countersink the cabinet, mark the wall for drilling, remove cab drill hole in wall and replace cab. I'm not sure why except that I've got good at it. Early days I'd be inclined to just drill the screw direct to the brickwork.

It's along time since I wrote a little guide to wardrobes in alcoves but you'll want to build the largest 'square' mdf box that fits in that space then put your shelves and rails in and add doors on the front. Otherwise you'll spend much more time coping with unusual parallelogram shapes for shelves.
So your wall condition won't matter.
Start with some 2x2 on the floor and get it all level with wedges or any number of methods. Build your big box and pop it on the 2x2, drive a couple of screws through the carcass into the walls, fill with shelves and rails to taste, add doors.
