A sledge hammer will break out the fireplace easy enough; you might want to check about putting in a vent up high on the remaining chimney breast.
Over the years I've pulled out all the built in wardrobes in my house; you dont have any flexibility with them in a room I think.
we have a 1950s house. We got it renovated a few years ago. At the time budget didn't stretch to flooring in the bedrooms, or wardrobes. So we sanded and varnished the very rough, gappy floorboards and left the beige tiled fireplaces. Am now thinking of getting a builder into to take out the fireplaces, put in flooring and getting fitted wardrobes in the two double bedrooms. I'm going to leave the two smaller bedrooms as we might build over the garage and extend them in coming years.
Fire surrounds....bang bang and as Thirsty says put a vent at the top of the chimney breast
Can I ask why at the top ? This would mean having to break through the chimney breast to the pot.
Would it suffice to leave one brick out when bricking up where the fireplace was ?, that would give you your vent, albeit lower down.
