Jermaine Jenas has placed his six-bedroom family residence near Barnet, North London, on the market with an asking price of £4.95million, approximately 18 months following his dismissal from the BBC.
The former England international, now 43, originally acquired the property for £2.8million back in 2006.
Estate agency photographs reveal the substantial home boasts an indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room facilities, along with a private gymnasium, dedicated cinema room and children's playroom.
The ex-Tottenham midfielder shared the residence with his wife Ellie, 37, and their children before their relationship collapsed following his high-profile departure from the broadcaster in August 2024.
