I assume either:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-h...
- The "spa" was the final straw for the last few people in the village who would speak to them and they want to start afresh elsewhere, or
- They were always planning to sell it after building the spa
Cant see it selling at that price tbh.

It funny, when I first heard about all the Capt Tom nonsense back in lockdown I just assumed it was a little old man walking around his council house garden. It was only later with all the memorial spa crap I realised it was quite a posh gaff. And now I've come full circle really after seeing the rightmove listing, a quick scan on google maps/streetview and it looks like it's surrounded by a load of "council style" housing Cant see it selling at that price tbh.
No disrespect to anyone living in those houses, but Capt Tom manor looks very out of place there, £2m seems rather steep.

The particulars of sale will be an interesting read and probably quite lengthy!https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-h...

That'll get bought buy a developer and levelled.
If i was spending £2m on a house to live in, it would certainly not be that one, or there!

Otherwise - it smacks of - they don't want to sell it.
The price is bonkers - for the same money and a short drive away, you could've bought this: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/120826208
I like how they've blurred all the pictures out, but left the big bronze statue in full view in hallway photos too.

Funny, the agent (and presumably vendors) have clearly made a decision to not mention the current owners or the recent history of the property in the description, but still decided to include TWO photos of the entrance hall with the statuette of Cpt Tom and his zimmer frame.
The agent mentions Sir Tom, the famous garden and the charity in the Sales Video. 119 said:

ETA I’m sure the grasping family would have exhausted any development potential on the site before marketing it.

Well the spa had to be pulled down after losing a planning appeal because the development impacted the listed building. Presumably somebody could build the original home-office as approved, but any sort of housing would seem to be out of the question.

Nice, I particularly like how with all that stabling and outbuildings, they still felt the need for a small shed in the garden (to the top left of the aerial pics)I like how they've blurred all the pictures out, but left the big bronze statue in full view in hallway photos too.
