Captain Tom’s daughter has taken her £2.25million home off the market after failing to attract a buyer in 10 months.
The seven-bedroom house in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, has been on the market since April 2024 and boasted a hefty £2.25million price tag.
The Covid hero’s scandal-hit daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin, 66, put the property up for sale in April, just months after they were forced to demolish an unauthorised spa block.
Now, it has been revealed that after shamelessly using Captain Tom’s name, they have failed to sell it.
The property is listed as ‘no longer available’ on estate agent Fine and Country’s website, and the firm confirmed it is ‘no longer appointed as the agents’, the Sun report.
The property boasts four bathrooms, four reception rooms and is set in 3.5 acres with a stand alone Coach House.
The home’s history was promoted in a brochure, stating that the ‘property is owned by the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore who spent his final years there raising money for the NHS during the Covid pandemic’.
It continues: ‘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 £40million for NHS charities during the pandemic.’

The listing featured a photo of the mansion’s hallway, where a statute of Captain Tom doing one of his daily garden laps which raised £38million for NHS charities is pride of place.
In August 2021, the Ingram-Moores were granted permission for a Captain Tom Foundation Building in the grounds of their home to support its charitable objectives.
The extension was called the Captain Tom Building in the plans, but it soon became apparent that the structure taking shape bore little resemblance to the one that had been sanctioned.
Following complaints from locals, a site visit was undertaken in March 2022, but the planning officer reported that the ‘windows were covered and access to the inside of the building was not possible’.
Central Bedfordshire Council refused a subsequent retrospective application in 2022 for a larger C-shaped building containing a spa pool.
The council insisted that the C-shaped building, that was built on a tennis court, was 49 per cent larger than what had been approved and must be demolished.
The demolition work was carried out on February 7, after the family lost an appeal to keep the complex after a planning inspector ruled it was ‘at odds’ with their Grade ll-listed home.
Before it was taken down, the Ingram-Moore’s were seen packing away Sir Tom’s legacy into boxes with photos of the war hero at Windsor Castle and his Sports Personality of the Year and Guinness World Record awards removed from the complex.

Mrs Ingram Moore also faced a probe into payments made through her family company for appearances linked to her late father’s charity in August 2023.
She reportedly attended and judged awards ceremonies in 2021 and 2022 as interim chief executive of the Captain Tom Foundation, but had payments for the appearances made to her company, Maytrix Group.
The BBC claim she received thousands of pounds into Maytrix for attending the Virgin Media O2 Captain Tom Foundation Connector Awards – despite promotional videos suggesting she was representing the charity.
It comes after it was revealed that Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin ‘misled’ the public and made ‘repeated failures in integrity’ as they pocketed around £1.5million from the foundation set up in Captain Tom’s name, according to a damning Charity Commission report.
The watchdog found that the pair benefited ‘significantly’ through their association with the high-profile charity.
Mrs Ingram-Moore made ‘disingenuous’ statements about the six-figure sum she initially demanded to become chief executive of the Captain Tom Foundation (CTF).
There was also a misleading suggestion that proceeds from a £1.4million book deal would be made to the foundation, including from Captain Tom’s autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day.
The report revealed the grasping couple had twice been invited to ‘rectify matters [over the book deals] by making a donation to the charity in line with their original intentions as understood by those involved’ but had ‘declined to do so’.
Mrs Ingram-Moore’s claim that she was paid £18,000 for her appearance at an awards ceremony ‘in a personal capacity’ was also criticised, with the report stating the money should have gone to the foundation.
MailOnline has contacted Hannah Ingram-Moore for comment.
