Airhead-
Tempted! It's getting boxed in this week (hopefully, probably not knowing this builder). Leaving a more normal sized opening for a decorative fireplace. Shitty laminate being ripped up and will eventually be replaced by an off white wool carpet (last thing to go in). Walls will be the second from the right Swatch (schoolhouse White from F&B). Plaster ceiling rose. Curtains of some description.
Will likely take one line of tiles off the front of the current "hearth" as it sits out quite far. Then will use @Señor_Bear 's hearth building technique with self leveling and tiles.

Goodbye random brick plinths.
