A sprawling seven-bed property belonging to Captain Sir Tom Moore’s family<\/a> is still on sale around two years after first being marketed. The Grade II-listed property in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, is currently advertised for \u00a31.95 million, having been reduced from its original \u00a32million asking price.<\/p>\n

Sir Tom\u2019s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, and her husband, Colin, first put the property up for sale in April 2024. The disgraced pair, who became embroiled in a scandal linked to the Captain Tom Foundation<\/a>, had even used Captain Sir Tom’s name in marketing brochures to sell the home, but it appears they have struggled to shift it.<\/p>\n

The listing briefly appeared as \u201cno longer available\u201d on estate agent Fine & Country\u2019s website in January 2025, reports the Daily Mail. <\/a><\/p>\n

It was later relisted at \u00a32 million, before being reduced in April 2025. This year, on February 5, the home was again listed at the same price of \u00a31.95million.<\/p>\n

The huge grade II listed former rectory seems a stunning dream property for most, with seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and reception rooms, and a games room. It even comes with a detached Coach House.<\/p>\n

The multi-million pad sprawls over 8,372 sqft and has about 3.4 acres of wraparound gardens, which is the equivalent of about two football pitches.<\/p>\n

They had even used Sir Tom’s name<\/a> in a brochure previously to sell the property, stating it was “owned by the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore who spent his final years there raising money for the NHS during the Covid<\/a> pandemic”.<\/p>\n

It continued: “A particularly special memory of our time here is of my father walking 100 laps of the garden to raise a record-breaking sum of almost \u00a340million for NHS charities during the pandemic.”<\/p>\n

But having marketed the home in 2024, the couple have struggled to sell it, two years after public backlash<\/a> from how they handled a charity in Capt Sir Tom’s name.<\/p>\n

After Hannah’s father passed away from Coronavirus<\/a>, his family set up the Captain Tom Foundation to support “causes close to Captain Sir Tom’s heart”. Hannah Ingram-Moore was the CEO and trustee of the charity, while Colin was a trustee.<\/p>\n

But, accounts showed the family had funnelled the money for their own benefit<\/a>. One statement showed \u00a316,097 was paid to Club Nook Limited – a company run by Ms Ingram-Moore, set up shortly before the formation of the charity.<\/p>\n

Published account from the charity’s first year from May 2020 to 2021 revealed it paid grants to four charities worth \u00a340,000 each, but had spent \u00a3209,433 on support costs – including \u00a3162,336 on “management”.<\/p>\n

In February 2022, the Charity Commission announced it would investigate the foundation. It found the family “repeatedly benefitted” from the “mismanaged” charity.<\/p>\n

Captain Sir Tom Moore sprung to fame and captured the nation’s hearts as he, at nearly 100 years old, walked laps of his garden with his walking frame during the Coronavirus<\/a> lockdown.<\/p>\n

He eventually raised \u00a338m for NHS Charities Together, which works with a network of more than 230 NHS Charities across the UK to support the organisation.<\/p>\n
