Monday, December 15, 2025 - A sprawling but rundown former farm near the Sandringham Estate is reportedly being lined up as Prince Andrew’s future home once he finally vacates Royal Lodge.
The disgraced former prince is rumoured to be moving to
Marsh Farm, located about seven miles west of King Charles’s Sandringham House.
The property, a former working farm, recently fell within an expanded no-fly
zone covering parts of the Sandringham estate, fuelling speculation that it has
been earmarked for Andrew.
Marsh Farm includes a main house with two reception rooms
and a kitchen, along with several outbuildings, but sources say the property
requires extensive renovation before it can be considered habitable. Buckingham
Palace has declined to comment on Andrew’s reported relocation, citing privacy
and security concerns.
A palace source said: “There are GDPR and rights of privacy
involved so we will not be providing the name of the property. There are also
security issues that are of relevance.”
The palace added that it would not discuss details of
Andrew’s accommodation, stressing that the King’s brother is now regarded as a
“private citizen” and that Sandringham is a “private estate”.
Andrew lost his Duke of York title and his status as a
working royal after his links to convicted s3x offender Jeffrey Epstein became
public. He was also stripped of his Knight of the Order of the Garter. The
controversy deepened after reports emerged that Andrew had emailed Epstein
months after claiming he had cut off contact.
The former prince agreed to surrender his lease at Royal
Lodge following prolonged pressure from King Charles and the Royal Household,
despite reportedly having a “cast iron lease”. He has until the end of October
to leave the 31-room mansion, although sources suggest the move could take time
due to logistical challenges.
An insider said: “Andrew has been told he is off to Marsh
Farm. It needs an awful lot of work to be done before it’s habitable. It means
we could be waiting a long time before he ever leaves Royal Lodge.”
Marsh Farm is currently vacant and unfurnished, with gardens
overlooking Dersingham Bog, an area used for royal shoots, and views stretching
toward The Wash. Nearby properties include Wood Farm Cottage, once home to
Prince Philip, though it has reportedly been ruled out as a residence for
Andrew.
While Andrew is said to have been allocated a home on the
Sandringham Estate, his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, is believed to be seeking
private accommodation elsewhere. Palace sources maintain there is no fixed date
for Andrew’s move, although some of his belongings are said to have already
been placed in storage.
Neighbouring businesses declined to comment on the reports,
saying enquiries about properties on the Sandringham Estate should be directed
to estate management.
