Great British Bake Off finalist Jane Beedle is set to have her cake and eat it after putting the home she bought for £500,000 up for sale - for almost three times as much.

Fan favourite Jane, 61, says she is ready to "downsize" from the six bedroom Victorian home to focus on her cooking, and her property is now on the market for a cool £1.4 million.

Jane has lived in the three floor semi-detached home in Beckenham, south London, with husband Ray, 70, for six years.

She bought former office for around £500,000, meaning crafty Jane could have baked herself a tidy £900,000 profit.

The property comes complete with an eat-in kitchen - where Jane did much of her Bake Off preparation - a separate dining room, and two reception rooms with feature fireplaces.

The huge home also has two bathrooms, a south-facing landscaped garden, and a driveway with space for up to three cars.

But Jane says now children Amy and Henry are at university, it is time to sell up the former Conservative Party constituency office that they converted into a residential property.

During the conversion, Jane, who also runs Mulberry Garden Design, was forced to be creative with limited cooking resources.

She said: "During that time the only cooking facilities I had was a kettle and a plug-in frying pan; it's amazing what you can cook with one of those."

She even hinted that there might even be a hidden treasure trove of sweet goodies left behind from when she practised her dishes before appearing on the show.

Jane added: "Lord knows how much icing sugar is hiding behind the units left over from that time."

The couple are now hoping to find a smaller abode in a more rural and slower-paced area while Jane concentrates on her baking.

The beautiful house comes with a price tag of £1,395,000 and is being marketed through Foxtons.

Jane added that she is most proud of her mini mousse cakes made for the showstopper section of week seven, while her three-tiered floral cake the week before is still painful for her to watch.

She said: "It left me totally fed and miserable; it was my worst week on the show."
