Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 3 Nov, 15:00 · Archive

The five-bedroom Dartmoor property where Ann Widdecombe was killed has been listed for £900,000.

The five-bedroom property at Thurlecot on the edge of Dartmoor is being marketed by Knight Frank as a south-facing chalet bungalow with a heated swimming pool, stables and views across the countryside. It has five reception rooms and three bathrooms, with an approximate internal area of 5,139 square feet. The agent's sales particulars include an unusually stark disclosure: 'A significant event occurred at the property in 2026, involving the unlawful death of an occupant. Further details can be provided by the agent.'

Miss Widdecombe, the former Conservative minister and Reform UK spokeswoman, was found dead at the house on 9 July, aged 78. Police said they believed the attack had taken place on 8 July. Prosecutors have alleged in court that she was struck on the head 21 times with a hammer while eating lunch in her kitchen.

Joshua Kerry, 28, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, has been charged with her murder. He has also been charged separately with one count of preparation of terrorist acts, including alleged activity against Nigel Farage. Both charges remain before the courts; the allegations have not been proved.
