    You are treating it as a houseplant when it is a hardy plant that really wants to be outdoors. It is above a radiator and the air inside will be too warm and too dry. It may also be getting more sun than it likes, they prefer shade.
    I do actually have one growing inside quite happily, but mine is in a north facing, unheated porch and gets blasted with cold air whenever the outer door is opened, which is often. It now needs re-potting and will be moving to the other side of that door. 
    If you can find somewhere equally suitable you could keep it inside, but if not, find somewhere outside where you can still enjoy it and it will be much happier. :)

    Thanks heaps! Do you think that if I am moving it outside would resolve the problem and the leaves will get to normal?

    Leaves that have turned brown won't go green again, but when the plant is happy it should grow healthy new leaves.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Thank you so much both! I will move it outside for the time being.
