Captain Tom’s daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore promotes her hero father’s lockdown fundraising feat as family’s £2.25million Buckinghamshire mansion goes up for sale after unauthorised spa is demolished

Captain Tom’s daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore has promoted her father’s heroic lockdown fundraising efforts as she puts up the family’s Buckinghamshire mansion for sale.

The 52-year-old is selling the seven-bedroom property with her husband Collin, 66, after being forced to tear down the £200,000 spa complex built without planning permission.

Tom inspired the nation during the pandemic after he walked 100 laps around the garden of the house to raise more than £38million for NHS charities.

And the late lockdown charity fundraiser’s legacy has been preserved at the home, with a bust of him seen in the main hallway in pictures on Rightmove.

But the property is now being sold after the family faced criticism for building a contentious spa building that was bigger than previously agreed with the local authorities.

The ‘owner’s statement’ for the house reads: ‘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 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.’ 

The house boasts four bathrooms, four reception rooms and is set in 3.5 acres with a stand alone Coach House. 

Potential buyers will have to provide ID, proof of wealth and sign NDAs before visiting the property.

The owner description continues: ‘It was the opportunity for multigenerational living that first drew us to this property. 

‘We were living in Surrey, my elderly father was in Kent, and we were setting up our own business needing access to London, so we drew a circle on the map to determine how far we were willing to move.

‘Initially, we were looking for a house for us and our young family, and another nearby for my father, but when we found The Rectory with its own Coach House in the grounds, we increasingly liked the idea of all living together.

‘As the Coach House was in use as a B&B, my father ended up living with us in the main house, which with its 7 bedrooms including two master suites is more than big enough!

‘In the years since, it has been wonderful to see young and old thrive in a family home where everyone has their own space.’
