We're moving in to our new home in a matter of weeks and we are considering making the chimney breast narrower to allow for wider alcoves for shelving and to house a television.
Everything is possible… but in semis sometimes the chimneys are shared with your neighbour and so changes effect them, you will likely need a party wall agreement, and likely a structural engineer.
So it’s not as straightforward as removing some bricks but it can be done.
