The Grade II listed home where Charles Darwin grew up and developed his love for nature is set to get new windows following a planning application submitted to Shropshire Council.
He spent his formative years at the property, surrounded by seven acres of land, high above the River Severn in the county town., the property is owned by Darwin Birthplace Trust, which was set up in 2021 after Welshpool businessman Glyn Jones bought the house for almost £1 million with plans to renovate the house and restore it to its former glory.
The planning application has also said the “thermal performance” of each such “sacrosanct” window is set to be enhanced through the installation of high quality, “discreet” secondary glazing. But reflective of the building’s historic evolution, the existing window catches are “to be retained, being carefully repaired to ensure long term operability”.
