The Grade II listed home of Captain Sir Tom Moore, where he raised £38m for NHS charities during the pandemic, has been put back on the market for £2.25m. The property, known as The Old Rectory in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, was previously listed at £2.5m.
The seven-bedroom, four-bathroom house sits on 3.5 acres of enclosed and secluded grounds, including a pond and part moat. A separate coach house, currently used as a gym, has planning permission to be converted into an annex. Estate agent Hadyn van Weenen described the driveway as 'iconic and very famous'.
Captain Sir Tom lived at the property with his daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and her family. He died in February 2021 at age 100, having become an international star for walking laps of his garden. His 100th birthday was marked by an RAF flypast and greetings from the Queen and prime minister, and he was knighted at Windsor Castle.
The property has been in the spotlight due to planning disputes over a spa building constructed in the grounds without permission, and a Charity Commission inquiry into the Captain Tom Foundation amid concerns the family may have profited from his name. The foundation is expected to close following the investigation.
