Also one of the tradesman recommended that we remove the chimney breasts to open the two main bedrooms and possibly will loose the fireplace downstairs then too. Any major benefits to this?

In room 2 which is directly above kitchen whenever we cook the smell goes right through and he said removing the chimney breast would resolve that.
Room 1 the chimney breast removal would mean getting that extra cupboard space rather than being a waste or paying for expensive bespoke cupboards??
Living room; I really do like the cosy fire but our large tv now is on floor at moment besides the chimney breast as we found out getting an alcove type bespoke cabinet is pretty expensive. With the chimney/fire gone we could put tv on wall and get a modern fire installed?

Any opinions please? Thanks
