Replacing a window with french doors

I was hoping to replace my double windows with a double french door set and I wondered if people thought that possible. I read about other people doing that on here and am hoping I can too :rolleyes:

1st Picture shows inside where I have moved the old kitchen from back wall to side wall to free up opening for door

2nd picture shows 'header' over the window - quite substantial and I believe sized to take the load above

3rd picture shows heavier uprights at the end(s) of the window which I believe takes the load.

What do people think? Would you be confident of knocking out the window and replacing with a doorway? (hope so - its taken me nearly a year to move the kitchen out of the way :o )
