Can I change a Help to Buy ISA to 'normal' cash ISA?

Hi, I opened a help to buy ISA several years ago, and I'm now in the fortunate position of buying a house, for more than the price limit to get the 'Help to buy' bonus. 

Is there any reason I cannot transfer this ISA to a 'normal' cash ISA? 

I've looked online, but can't find anything specific to this - apologies if it's a silly question!

    Thank you! I've probably been overthinking it - I'll sort it out over the next few days  :)
