A farmhouse in the English village of Coberley that is up for sale is rumored to have once been used to train spies during World War II, a spokesman says.

Peter Davison, spokesman for the Moore Allen and Innocent real estate group, said the Cotswolds property is owned by Frederick Winterbotham, the Royal Air Force officer credited with distributing the cracked German enigma codes during the war, the Wilts and Gloucester Standard said Friday.
