Jamie Oliver's former pub converted into an idyllic countryside cottage on the market for £1million

A historic pub once owned by Jamie Oliver has gone up for sale for £1.075 million after being converted into a stunning four-bed home. The renowned celebrity chef bought the Essex gastropub, then called The Cock, back in 2006 under his charity Fifteen Foundation.

Some may recognise the village tavern in Braintree after it featured on the reality TV show Jamie's Chef, which aired in 2007 and saw Jamie train disadvantaged youths to become chefs and compete for their own restaurant.

After winning the series, Jamie gifted the pub to school dropout Aaron Craze, 28, who successfully run it until business reportedly slumped, and it closed down in 2008.
