The family home of Captain Sir Tom Moore is back on the market with £450,000 slashed from the original asking price. The seven-bedroom property in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, where the Covid hero raised £39 million for charity, is now listed at £1.8 million, down from the £2.25 million price tag it carried when first listed in 2024.
The listing makes no mention of Captain Tom's charity heroics, nor does it name his daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore, 56, or her husband Colin, 69. It states only that the property was given Grade II listed status in October 1952 as a building of architectural and historical importance.
Property History and Listing Details
The listing report dates the building to the 18th century but notes this included 'reworking an earlier structure'. The building was substantially extended in the 19th century, with a plaque reading 'rebuilt AD 1884 JS Wood DD Rector'.
The home has had its price reduced again as the family continue their attempt to sell the mansion.
Charity Commission Findings
In November 2024, Mrs Ingram-Moore and her husband were criticised by a watchdog for pocketing more than £1 million in Captain Tom's name. The Charity Commission said its probe into the Captain Tom Foundation, set up in 2020, uncovered 'repeated failures of governance and integrity'.
The statutory inquiry found the Ingram-Moores' 'misconduct and/or mismanagement [was a] repeated pattern of behaviour'. It added that sales of Captain Tom's autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day did not benefit the foundation. An advance of £1.4 million for a three-book deal was paid to Club Nook, a company the couple direct.
Disqualification and Aftermath
The commission said the charity 'hasn't received any money from the first publishing agreement' and that the public 'would feel misled' to learn the charity did not benefit from sales. Mrs Ingram-Moore and her husband were disqualified from acting as charity trustees for ten and eight years respectively. Mrs Ingram-Moore insisted they had not done anything dishonest, telling the BBC: 'I genuinely am. But there was never any attempt to mislead and if there was any misleading it wasn't our doing.'
The couple were also ordered to demolish a luxury spa built in the grounds of their home using the Captain Tom Foundation charity name. Earlier this year, it emerged Mrs Ingram-Moore was using TikTok to earn commission on products including ear drops, dog sprinklers and car windscreen sun shades.
