Jamie upstairs ... an ideal recipe for renters

 
Let’s eat: Jamie Oliver’s family home is above the two-bedroom rental property in Primrose Hill
8 March 2012

It may have a tiny kitchen but there is always the chance of expert help from the upstairs neighbours for those tricky recipes or hard-to-find ingredients...

The two-bedroom basement flat below Jamie Oliver’s Primrose Hill family home has been put up for let at £600 a week.

The 750 sq ft property is not owned by Oliver but was bought by its current owner for £420,000 in 2007. Agents’ “To Let” boards went up outside the Regency house last month, causing a stir in the neighbourhood where it was assumed it was the celebrity chef, his wife Jools and their four children who were moving out.

The local agents, appropriately called Oliver’s Town, detail the “private entrance, cool and sophisticated décor and bespoke lighting throughout”.

The busy 36-year-old chef, who bought a next-door property in 2009 and knocked through, is not always around to lend a sabatier, however. He is currently in Australia to open a new Ministry of Food and launch a restaurant in Sydney, where he landed himself in hot water after calling a journalist a bitch for asking about his weight.
