Amy farmhouse

Singer Amy Winehouse is planning to splash out £750,000 on a secret country retreat where she can escape while she battles her demons.

The troubled pop star is said to be days away from exchanging contracts on the 150-year-old farmhouse.

The hideaway, in a sleepy Suffolk village, boasts seven bedrooms, three sitting rooms and a conservatory.

It also includes three acres of land, stables and a garage for five cars.

A detached barn in the grounds could be converted into a top-notch recording studio.

And there is an airfield within easily travelling distance, which 24- year-old Back to Black star Amy could use to fly in and out whenever she wanted.

A source said: “Amy has been looking for something in the area — and this particular place really is the ideal location.

“It is a really quiet, hidden spot where she would be away from the chaos of her life in London and could concentrate properly on getting her life back on track again.”

The house is being sold following a liquidation and the price has been slashed from £995,000.

It is also convenient for visiting Amy’s junkie husband BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL, 26, as he serves a 27-month jail sentence for ABH and perverting justice.

Amy’s dad Mitch was in favour of the star’s proposed new country home.

He said: “I hope she will be very happy there.

“When Blake comes out of prison the two of them are going to need somewhere to live together.”
