Ann Widdecombe was tragically murdered in July this year, and now her home which was the scene of the crime has hit the market. Her detached Devon property, located in Newton Abbot, features five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The Knight Frank listing reads: "Thurlecot is situated off a quiet road through the hamlet and within an easy walk up onto the open moor, facing south and surrounded by its gardens offering peace and privacy."
Inside, there is a kitchen/breakfast room with an iconic AGA, a large conservatory, a library space, and an idyllic garden.
The listing details the highlights of the outdoor space: "Lawned gardens with ornamental trees and shrubs and incorporating an ornamental pond to the front and, to the rear, a heated swimming pool with stone-paved surrounds. At the top of the gardens is a wooden stable building."
Following the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPRs), the brochure included a note that read: "A significant event occurred at the property in 2026, involving the unlawful death of an occupant. Further details can be provided by the agent."

The property has been listed for £900,000 and while this six-figure sum may seem hefty, it may not be as much as the home could have reached years prior. According to Rightmove, "the historical sold prices in Newton Abbot over the last year were 10 per cent down on the previous year and 14 per cent down on the 2022 peak of £305,046."
Despite it being a wonderful residence with so many beautiful features, it will no doubt be a bittersweet place for Ann's family as it is where she died.
