Project: the sitting room

Can I move a fireplace?

The original chimney breast and fireplace is on a middle rather than back wall.
But you can't sit facing the fireplace because that would mean sitting under the window (which looks into the conservatory) against a radiator.

Ultimately, the fireplace is on the wrong wall. It should be on the back wall where we have our sideboard.

Our current gas fireplace

The plan is to take off the old fireplace, block up the hole and build a new chimney breast on the back wall.


This should be easy....right?
