Inside Captain Tom's £2.25m home complete with statue of him and moat with fish

Captain Sir Tom Moore's home has been put up for sale for £2.25 million. He famously did 100 laps of the garden at the property during the coronavirus pandemic, raising £38.9 million for the NHS.

The property has gone on the market just months after a spa pool block within the grounds was demolished. The Grade II-listed Old Rectory, is being marketed by estate agents Fine & Country.

They described the property, in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, as a "magnificent seven-bedroom property" in the sale listing. A sculpture of Captain Tom with his trademark walking frame is situated in the hallway of the main house.

The Mirror reports a video tour of the house reveals a photograph of the fundraising hero being knighted by the Queen is seen displayed on a wall in the separate coach house building within the house's grounds.
