Sophie, who at 5ft 11in is seven inches taller than the jazz pianist, has been viewing several houses, mostly in the South-East, with her diminutive beau.

Will it come with a lift? House-hunters Sophie Dahl and Jamie Cullum

They have been dating since April last year. A source close to the couple confirmed: 'Jamie and Sophie are very much in love, and decided it's time to get a pad together. They've spent enough time staying at each other's houses, so it's the natural next step.'

Model Sophie, 30, is the granddaughter of Roald Dahl, who wrote The BFG and James And The Giant Peach.

She turned author herself with books such as Playing With The Grown-Ups.

There have been marriage rumours, but the source added: 'They're not planning to marry for now, but when they do get engaged they will let people know without any pomp. They're very down-to-earth.'
