Captain Sir Tom Moore’s former home price cut to £1.8m
Captain Sir Tom Moore’s former home in Bedfordshire is for sale for £1.8 million, after its asking price was cut by £450,000.
The seven-bedroom Old Rectory in Marston Moretaine was listed in 2024 for £2.25 million.
Moore became widely known during the 2020 Covid lockdowns, when he walked laps of the garden and raised nearly £39 million for NHS charities.
His fundraising made the house a familiar part of his story for many people in the UK.
After his death in 2021, his daughter and her husband had to demolish an unauthorised spa pool building on the grounds.
The Charity Commission later investigated the Captain Tom Foundation, which has since closed, and the couple were barred from serving as charity trustees.
The property remains on the market, and the available information gives no date for a sale.
