For decades, the former Prince Andrew lived at Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, which had previously been occupied by the Queen Mother.
However, amidst the scandal of his continued contact with convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein and his peppercorn rent for the the 30-bed mansion, Andrew was forced to vacate the property: The King’s brother was to take up residence at Marsh Farm.
Located in the quiet, agricultural outskirts of the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, Marsh Farm has recently transitioned from an unknown house to a high-profile, heavily-guarded residence.
Marsh Farm is situated approximately 2.5 miles west of the main Sandringham House, and is nestled near the village of Wolferton.
It is a red-brick former working farmhouse, thought to feature five bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large kitchen.
Having previously been a working farm, the grounds include a number of stables and agricultural buildings. The stables may get some use as in recent years, Andrew has become a regular horse rider, learning to ride as he took up his former role as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, which has been held by his father.
The property is built on low-lying marshland. According to the 1904 book The King’s Homeland, the area is described as as being subject to the ‘steaming ooze’ of the nearby tidal flats, which can lead to damp conditions and potential flooding risks.
In early 2026, work crews were photographed at the site installing security cameras and lighting in preparation for the disgraced Royal’s arrival.
Additionally, with the home sitting close to a public road, a six-foot wooden fence and new gates were built to add privacy.
Prior to Andrew’s arrival, the house had been empty for five years and seemed to have become home to local rodents: pest control had to be called before he moved in.
Notably, a large mobile home was recently spotted on the site, which is reportedly to house security personnel and additional staff.
