Moving a chimney breast/fireplace

Hi all

I'm in the process of buying a flat (top floor, in case that makes a difference), which has a boarded up fireplace in the living room. I would typically expect the fireplace to be in the middle of the wall, but in this case the alcoves on either side of the chimney breast are not equal, in fact there is quite a noticeable difference (see photos). Ideally I would like to alter/resize the chimney breast so that the alcoves are the same size - will this be possible, and if so, is this likely to be an expensive project?

Any advice/thoughts would be gratefully received!

Thanks
Natalie
