Captain Tom Moore’s was a story of resilience. A tale of charity and giving. A piece of positive news in a miserable time. Tom spent the last year or so of his life raising money from his home in Bedfordshire – and that home is now available to buy.
That’s right, for only £2.25 million, you can own a slice of British history. The stately abode, which is Grade II-listed and in the village of Marston Moretaine, went on the market recently, and it gives an insight into the life of the late captain and his family.
The property comes complete with seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, and ‘3.5 acres of semi-moated gardens’. If only you were able to add some kind of spa to the grounds, you’d have yourself a proper luxurious haven.
Looking through the pictures, it's clear that the owners of the house, Captain Tom’s daughter Hannah and her husband, are proud of his legacy. There’s a small bronze statue of him in the hallway, and he’s even mentioned in the brochure available under the listing. There’s also generally British memorabilia throughout the house, including a chair made from ex-army uniforms and at least six Union Jack themed ornaments.
Here’s a glimpse of what could be yours, if you’ve got two-and-a-bit mil to spare.

Beyond brown bungalows and uniform new builds, there are some gorgeous houses around the UK. On the market recently there was this historic English country house (which is linked to two kings) going on the market, this £19 million English country estate, this massive Scottish castle and this slightly smaller Welsh fortress.
Did you see that this is Britain’s most beautiful seaside village, according to the Telegraph?
