How can I turn this into a good desk/study space with this awkward area?

[bibiqt40]

Recently moved and want to put my desk/study area here but its an awkward shape and my current set up does not work.

I want to maybe put in a corner desk or fashion one from a finished piece of wood and legs, enough to fit a unit of drawers underneath and be deep enough to sit at comfortably with a keyboard/book and the monitor raised on an arm. Also considered putting pieces of wood around the fireplace to create a semi bookcase/shelf. I'm just trying to get an idea of whats possible.

Evening @bibiqt40 

Maybe that brings the bookcase support at the rear (against the wall of the fireplace) with some legs in front back into play? 

Maybe a Kaboodle 900mm Wall Cabinet  on that wall. Legs near the window end or even another cupboard style if you have the space.

Hi @bibiqt40 

Unfortunately as @JacobZ mentioned, if the desk needs to freestanding, then 6 legs will probably be required, which isn't a bad thing. I would also recommend you run some felt stick on materials on the sides with the potential to touch the walls. This will save you on move out times in making good any marks left from the desk rubbing. This is a good product I've used lots of times that you can cut down into strips.
