Jose Morinho flat

The contemporary London house that former Chelsea FC manager Jose Mourinho rented is back on the rental market. Mr Morinho lived in the five-bedroom house until he left the club in September 2007. It's only a few minutes from Stamford Bridge in Chelsea Harbour and has a little patio garden that his Yorkshire terrier, Gullit, would have enjoyed running around in, as long the dog kept out of the Japanese-style water feature. The 3,000 square feet home is large, with excellent entertaining space and with state-of-the-art interiors, just the thing for a get up and go professional. On the ground floor there's a kitchen and breakfast room leading out to the garden. The main reception area, with two inter-connecting rooms - ones with a large plasma TV, takes up the whole of the first floor and on the fourth floor, there's a fabulous second reception area with huge surround sound TV and music system. T he house, which is painted white throughout, has five bedrooms, three with en-suite bathrooms and a shower room. Throughout there's a Bang & Olufsen audio, visual and surround sound system, under floor heating in the bathrooms, partial air conditioning and four patios. The house has both a garage and parking space. Benham and Reeves Lettings is letting the house for £3,000 a week, www.brlets.co.uk
