    I have just discovered after stripping wallpaper that the previous owner has plastered over the hole on the inside of the wall that leads out to the vent bricks on the outside of the house, would it be advisible to open this back up again to have airflow in the bedroom or does it not really matter?

    Cheers
    It only matters if there is damp in the room.

    If there are no damp problems in the bedroom, and the air vent is not on a blocked up chimney then leave it alone.

    If there are damp problems then open it up.

    I've found this thread which may have some useful info:
