Amy Winehouse's Camden home sold for nearly £2m

 
Sold: The Camden home of singer Amy Winehouse
4 December 2012

Amy Winehouse's Camden Home has been sold for £1.98 million.

Four bidders contested the Camden Square property at an auction in Piccadilly.

The property's guide price was £1.8 million - slashed from £2.7 million. The decision to go to auction was made by Amy's father Mitch after the estate agent was inundated with "nosey time-wasters".

Neighbours previously said the house struggled to sell because it had become a "shrine" to the deceased star.

The four-storey house was put up for sale in May. The semi-detatched property covers 2,500 square feet. It has three large bedrooms, including a master bedroom taking up most of the second floor, and a massive dressing room with fitted wardrobes. There is also a gym and sound-proofed music room. The house is protected by security alarms and has an electrically operated front gate.

It had been up for sale with online agent Housenetwork.co.uk before the family decided to go to auction.

The auctioneer, Chris McHugh of McHugh & Co, said he was not asked to promote the house as that of the late singer.

But Gary Murphy, partner at another auctioneers, Allsop, said: “The whole world wants to buy into the top end of London property. Amy Winehouse’s home ticks all the boxes and should draw international interest, particularly from a handful of wealthy members of the entertainment industry who are currently investing heavily in property. There’ll be a blue plaque there very soon I’m sure, and I can see interest from a celebrity such as Simon Cowell or Mark Knopfler.”
