The Office star, 53, is said to be irritated by noise from a pre-school opposite his north London mansion, which he bought in 2018 after splitting from Amanda Abbington.
An insider said: “The noise is a major problem, particularly during term time on weekdays, due to the school located directly opposite.”
The source added: “New [window] units will reduce noise pollution from the street and school, improving the building’s internal environment.”
This change is aimed at blocking out the noise from the school.
However, MailOnline reported that the actor must adhere to Camden Council’s regulations and apply for planning permission, as the property is in a designated conservation area.
The new windows were originally set to be installed in April.
Also featuring a wine cellar, basement, and summerhouse, Freeman’s home is in a part of Hampstead known for being a celebrity hotspot.
Other famous residents reportedly living in the area include Harry Styles, Ricky Gervais, Lewis Capaldi, Dua Lipa, and Helena Bonham Carter.
Freeman, who split with Abbington in 2016 after 16 years together, is currently in a relationship with French actress Rachel Benaissa, while Abbington is engaged to Jonathan Goodwin.
The pair have two children together, Joe, 18, and Grace, 17.
The actor, who has starred high-profile films and TV shows including The Office, Sherlock and The Hobbit, recently called out “annoying” fans for following him for long periods of time and said he is not a “prop”.
He said on BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg in April: “Sometimes, you are tailed, I am tailed, occasionally, people follow you around, sometimes, and they think you don’t know, and of course you do know.
“(It’s) not scary, more annoying, I suppose… it’s annoying because they think you don’t know they’re doing it.”
