Chaumeton, who is documenting his DIY renovations online, said he planned to turn the negative space into a wardrobe.
“I’m going to seal up this old fireplace as it was nothing too special. But I will be using the tiles in a future mosaic concept I’ve got in mind,” he said.
He then put an old pound he found back in the fireplace “to appease the house spirits”.
