The Devon bungalow where former MP Ann Widdecombe was murdered in July has been listed for sale four months later.

The detached property on Dartmoor, which Widdecombe named 'Widdecombe's Rest', has been listed by Knight Frank for £900,000. The five-bedroom chalet bungalow sits on the moor fringe near Haytor Vale in Devon and is now marketed under its original name, Thurleco. Agents describe it as a 'spacious, south-facing and well-presented' home with 'glorious long-distance views over the surrounding countryside', a heated swimming pool with stone paved surrounds, an ornamental pond, and a wooden stable building.

Widdecombe, a former Conservative MP and minister, moved to the property in 2008 after leaving Parliament. She later became associated with Reform UK and served as the party's Justice spokeswoman. She was found dead in the kitchen in July after being struck over the head 21 times with a hammer. Joshua Kerry, aged 28 from Rotherham, was charged with her murder.
