The Bunnings Workshop community can help with your home improvement projects.
We have just purchased a home, we haven't moved in yet, so excuse the limited photography.
From what I can tell, will need to build a timber frame to house plaster – and it getting a bit tricky where the plaster meets the brick, and evening that out across to the cornice and skirting (and then electrical).
Would love other ideas of what I can do with this space. The room isn't large, and losing this surface isn't really on the cards unfortunately.
Hello @newtoallthis
I suggest speaking to a handy person who has experience in building cabinetry and is familiar with stud walls. You can probably post this project on Airtasker or Hipages, I recommend putting in as much detail as possible so that you'll have a good chance of getting a quick response.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

A very experienced handyman could do this job, but you would want to see some past work as this type of project though fairly basic has a lot of different expertise involved, such as carpentry, plasterer and painting. You would also need an electrician to provide the TV's powerpoint and antenna connection.
