Removed external flue, best practice to re-brick?

I'm removing pebbledash from our external walls (1935 semi) and I've hit the point of the old stove / boiler flue. I've included photos below.

My current thinking is to rebuild the wall by cutting and toothing to the 'half brick' depth and using standard brick for the gap (which is exactly one Imperial brick wide) - This makes sense to me as the wall is effectively already tied between leaves and it's better to not poke the bear if that area is sound.

Is that good practise or is there another way?

Thanks!

OP,
Why not post pics showing the whole elevation - & pics of the interior chimney breast and fireplace?
