Mine had already been replaced with a horrid gas fire so I opened it all up right the way up to the arch and then had a stove installed in the new recess.

If you take the plaster off you should find an arch probably about a foot (or two even) above the level of the current mantelpiece. I haven't got any pictures on me but that is exactly how mine was set out.

What about handrail steel? Easy to assemble with all the 90s and wall plates?

I suspect that if you keep going up above the red line then you may find a nice arch, no way to be sure until you have removed more plaster though.

If it's loose then it's no good. Don't worry about the cracks as that was just as it has shrunk when drying, I suspect it will be fine after a skim.

I'm just happy that I was right all along! :D

I'm going to disagree and while heat recovery would work, I'd rather have a warmer room in the first place. I battened and insulated the external wall of my ensuite with 50mm Celotex and it is great now with minimal condensation (there is of course mechanical extraction). I would recommend...

Concrete lintels are so cheap I'd just whack one of those in personally.

Likely to be lath and plaster but impossible to tell really.

Photo please!

I would probably make the gap up with timber and then paint it white or clad it with UPVC as it's just a garage.

Can we have some photos please, I'd be interested in the use of a cavity so early. I also suspect condensation as penetrating damp is hard through a 9" wall, let alone one with a cavity. Pictures of outside and inside the room with the damp would be good.
