The former north London home of the original band members of rock band Pink Floyd has been bought by a Singaporean developer who has not yet seen it. Sham Masterman, who admitted not being a fan of the rock band, bought the Highgate house and the one next door for £1.2 million each. Roger Waters, Nick Mason, Richard Wright and Syd Barrett lived in the house in the 1960s.

Miss Masterman, of Kensington, west London, who has a portfolio of properties, admitted that she did not "really need to work" but was looking for a new project. She added that she had a friend who was a Pink Floyd fan and may be interested in the odd item of memorabilia.

Christopher Coleman Smith, of Savills Auctions, said a "piece of rock and roll history" had been bought.
