The family home where Captain Sir Tom Moore raised millions for NHS charities during the pandemic has been put up for sale for £2.25m.

The house and grounds in Marston Moretaine, in Bedfordshire, became well-known after the Army veteran walked laps around the garden, raising £38m for NHS Charities Together.

He lived there with his daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and her family.

The Grade II listed property has seven bedrooms and four bathrooms.

In a marketing video posted online, estate agent Hadyn Van Weenan said the Old Rectory featured an “iconic and very famous driveway”.

    Central Bedfordshire Council initially approved plans but later the authority refused revised proposals, which included a spa, after it had already been partly built.
