Amy Winehouse's home for sale

The house where Amy Winehouse died last summer has been put up for sale for $4.3 million.

The singer was found dead at her home in Camden, north London on July 23, and fans flocked to the street to hold vigils for the star.

Her parents were said to be using the house as headquarters for a charity set up in her name, but it has now been revealed they are selling the property.

A family spokesperson tells Britain's The Sun, "The Winehouses have decided to put the house on the market, with great regret.

"Amy loved that house but none of the family felt it appropriate that they should live in it. It was not practical to keep it empty while paying for its upkeep. It is a wonderful place and will be a happy family home for someone."

The house is described as a "substantial and impressive three double bedroom, three reception room semi-detached period villa with well-proportioned private gardens" with an "integrated sound system, CCTV and a master suite with vaulted ceiling".

The Back to Black hitmaker died as an "unintended consequence" of drinking too much alcohol.
