THE house where award-winning singer Amy Winehouse was found dead has been sold this afternoon (Monday) for £1.98million.

Four bidders contested the lot – Ms Winehouse's former home in Camden Square, Camden Town – at an auction at Bafta's headquarters in Piccadilly. It had a guide price of £1.8 million, a figure slashed from the £2.7 million pricetag attached to it when it was initially marketed through estate agents. Property experts blamed "nosey timewasters" for hampering attempts to reach a deal.

Ms Winehouse, 27, considered one of the greatest British female vocalists of all time for her albums Frank and Back To Black, was found dead at the property in July last year.
