You know you've bought a piece of history when your new home has a blue plaque - and this one has one to the father of evolution, Charles Darwin.

Grade II listed Georgian townhouse Paragon in Ramsgate is up for sale with agents Miles & Barr for £925,000.

Darwin's former holiday residence - he also lived at Down House near Orpington - is over six floors and boasts six bedrooms and panoramic sea views.

Within walking distance of the town centre, it has original features such as fireplaces, sash windows, high skirting boards, original doors and picture rails along with more recent bold patterns on the walls.

The spacious lounge with a bay window still has the original shutters and the basement has potential for a self contained flat with its own access from the front.

It has a courtyard garden along with double gates which can provide off street parking.
