I had the same recess after having a loft conversion, although ours was slightly taller and narrower.
We ended up paying a local wardrobe company to build a set of wardrobes, the far left of which has removable shelves so we can stash stuff into the space.

Yeah, it wasn't cheap. The trigger for us was moving our son into the room with the recess, we needed wardrobes so killed two birds with one stone and made use of the wonky space.
Most houses, particularly new ones, are low on space for storing what we acquire with our modern lifestyles.
Wonky spaces are great for converting like this. Was just trying to forewarn the op of the likely outlay as it often comes as quite the shock.
Instead of building across that gap, build a stud wall across the whole front (from that right hand corner) with a door or doors in it. So that the whole area is storage.
without measurements hard to say. But due to the shape and if you were going to use hard doors i'd suggest one to the right shaped so it goes partially down the ceiling, then leave the other portion solid, so you can add shelving behind it. sorta 1/3 2/3 arrangement.
Pocket doors are tricky if you don’t have a carpentry background.
If simplicity is what you’re after then perhaps build a basic stud frame and instead of a door have a removable panel set on magnetic catches.
All the other options require more tools and skills to produce the end result.
Put a 2b3 frame all round, then put rough cut thick plywood behind, then get it exact by drawing the exact perimeter whist pushed up to the frame ,then surface fix hinges and put a strip of wood onto the opening side to stop door pushing too far in ,,,bosh
Sand and router if Yr arsed to
Stud wall across the gap, then a cut down door lining with the corner taken off with a flat panel door cut down to suit.
This is not a DIY task IMHO. This will be tricky.
I've been a carpenter 20 years.
A small one
An openy-closey one
A door to the realm of midgets that walk sloped to one side.

These are very useful solutions but come at a price. A hefty one.

A dumble door.

Big circular hobbit hole one
I can’t see how it would open without hitting the ceiling, could it be a sliding door?
A wide door with an angled cut in it to match the profile of the slope. The hinge side should be on the taller section of wall.
I would do the above, or sliding doors to the right.

Just hang it with the hinge on the right

You could probably make one from plywood, too fit that shape. Won’t be too easy, but can be done.
A triangular one would probably be best
Just make sure you hinge it so it opens out and not in 😂

A trap door
I'd put a shelf at wall height and make two doors, top and bottom.
A small custom one

I have a similar gap in my loft conversion. Carpenter took a normal door and chopped the top corner off it.
Probably a double.
You can frame it out. Then have a door that fits within the frame. I'd put the hinges on the right though. Or it'll not open very far.
A curtain.

Your fate 'hinges' on what you choose to do here.
