Hey,

I'm renovating my daughter's room, and there's a chimney breast that used to be enclosed. Now that the built-in wardrobes have been torn down, I also demolished the box around the chimney breast because it was crooked and poorly constructed. Now the question is whether I should enclose it again or leave it exposed.

The foundational work inside the enclosure is quite well done against the floor and ceiling, and the chimney breast is plastered, so it can probably be painted quite nicely.

Grateful for advice. Which is better for a sale; exposed or enclosed? Note the unpainted ceiling tiles and the fresh floor where the built-in wardrobes used to stand.
