Captain Tom Moore's family home back on the market with £450k slashed from original price tag EXCLUSIVE: The sprawling home where Captain Sir Tom Moore inspired the nation with his Covid heroics is back on the market for £1.8m - two years after it was listed for £2.25m Captain Sir Tom Moore's family home is back on the market - with £450,000 slashed off the price. The sprawling seven-bedroom property where the Covid hero raised £39million for charity was originally listed for £2.25m in 2024. But after more than two years, the family have cut the price to £1.8m. A listing for the property in Marston Moretaine, Beds, has no sign of Capt Tom in any of the images. It makes no mention of the veteran's charity heroics and does not name his daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore, 56, and husband Colin, 69. It simply states: "The property was given Grade II listed status in October 1952 as a property of architectural and historical importance. "The listing report dates the building to the 18th century but notes that this included 'reworking an earlier structure'. The building was then substantially extended in the 19th century with a plaque saying 'rebuilt AD 1884 JS Wood DD Rector'." In November 2024 Mrs Ingram-Moore and her husband were criticised by a watchdog for pocketing more than £1million in his name. They gained significant financial benefit from links to a charity - the Captain Tom Foundation - that they set up in 2020, a report said. The Charity Commission said its probe into the foundation uncovered "repeated failures of governance and integrity". Second World War veteran Capt Tom raised nearly £39m for charity during the pandemic by walking 100 lengths of his garden ahead of his 100th birthday in April 2020. He was knighted months later and died aged 100 in 2021. The Charity Commission's statutory inquiry found the Ingram-Moores' "misconduct and/ or mismanagement [was a] repeated pattern of behaviour". It added sales of Capt Tom's autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day did not benefit the Captain Tom Foundation. In the prologue he wrote of being given "the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation established in my name". But an advance of £1.4m for the three-book deal was paid to Club Nook, which the Ingram-Moores are directors of. The commission said the charity "hasn't received any money from the first publishing agreement". It added 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. Mrs Ingram-Moore told the BBC she was sorry if the public felt misled. She said: "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 that had been built in the grounds of their home in Marston Moretaine, Beds., using the Captain Tom Foundation charity name. Earlier this year it emerged Mrs Ingram-Moore was using TikTok to earn commission on the sale of ear drops, dog sprinklers and car windscreen sun shades. Reports said she was using the video-sharing app to promote the products for sale, from which she then earns a nice share of the proceeds.
