turn window into a doorway?

[bishbashboshy]

I would like to knock down a wall underneath window in a small victorian semi in order to turn it into a doorway to the sidereturn.

It has a brick arch above the window, so am i right in assuming that it doesn't need any sort of new lintel?

excuse me if this is a dumb question but i'm having a wee attack of nerves before boshery.

any useful thoughts appreciated,

If your keeping it the same width there will be no problem.

at what height is the lowest point of the arch?

thanks for speedy replies guys.

yeah, same width - thanks bodgeit.

noseall : 700 mill wall, lowest point of arch 2380 above ground(ooh i've gone metric all of a sudden, must be the booze) 2400 centre point. However, this is render. The "arch" is level at it's base. straight viccy brickwork.....

can't be the glass holding it up eh?
