It's a ball ache to remove the chimney breast completely and it means the firelace and its chimney in the room below is now decorative.

Just the fascia/fireplace itself - not the breast. Basically cover it over (if so how?) and remove the pretty bit with the mantle so we've got a clean wall for the bed to sit against and two 'alcoves' where I'd place shelves or get some cabinets done in time.
Did have the bed there when we first moved but our toddler liked to climb on top of the mantle and throw himself onto the bed.
CYOA
Should I remove a fireplace in our bedroom so we can have the bed against that wall? Currently it has to be tucked behind a door which I hate. It's quite a nice old one (but there are equally nice old ones in every other room in the house).
