Replacing a Gas Fireplace with an Open Fire

Hi, I hope some of you may be able to help.

Money is tight at the moment so wanted to get some advice before I start spending money.

I currently have a gas fire installed in the sitting room. It is just connected to a gas cylinder out the back and not the mains. There is a little isolating valve near the chimney breast which could be capped off easy enough.

Is it just as simple as taking out the gas fire and getting a hearth and tray and hey presto we have an open fireplace. The house is a general semi detached. The gas fire was an option at the end of the build, other houses on the development have open fires.

Do any of ye know anything about how big a job this might be?
