THIS sprawling yet ramshackle farm is said to be earmarked for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor when he finally leaves Royal Lodge.
The disgraced ex-prince is rumoured to be set to live in Marsh Farm which is seven miles west of the King’s Sandringham House.
A Sandringham estate no-fly zone has recently been extended to cover the area over the former farm.
The former working farm, which includes a main house with two reception rooms and a kitchen and several outbuildings, needs a lot of renovation.
Buckingham Palace is refusing to discuss shamed Andy’s new home which will be privately funded by his brother the King and instead cited data protection laws.
The palace said they will not be providing the name of his new home because the King’s brother is a “private citizen” and Sandringham is a “private estate”.
A palace souce added: “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.”
Andrew has lost his Duke and Prince titles while also being stripped of his Knight of the Order of the Garter.
It came after The Sun on Sunday revealed he had emailed his peadophile pal Jeffrey Epstein several months after he claimed he had cut off contact.
The Royal Family and Crown Estate have been blasted in recent weeks over cut-price rent deals.
Andy had not paid any rent for 20 years while Edward and Sophie are also on a ‘peppercorn rent’ deal at their 120-room Bagshot Park, in Surrey.
Andrew agreed to give up his lease to Royal Lodge after years of pressure from the King and Royal Household despite having a “cast iron lease”.
He has until the end of October to move out of his 31-room mansion and sources say logistically it is expected to take some time.
Marsh Farm is a vacant sprawling estate near to a church and former railway station at Wolferton.
Gardens overlook Dersingham Bog where royal shoots take place and views can stretch as far as sea at The Wash.
Neighbours also under the new no-fly zone include Wood Farm Cottage, which was home to the late Prince Philip, and has been ruled out as a future abode to the former Prince Andrew.
It is next to two companies, an iron works and Quad bike firm and share a private road to the side of the property.
The iron bed work company occupies what would have been the stables to Marsh Farm.

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.”
ANDREW’S MOVE
Palace sources say that there is no set date for Andy to move to Sandringham.
The Sun on Sunday understands some of Andy’s belongings have already been moved out of Royal Lodge and placed in storage.
While Andrew has been earmarked a home on Sandringham Estate, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson is said to be finding private accommodation.
A family-ran wrought iron bed company next door to the house told The Sun on Sunday they would not comment when asked about news of the move this week.
A spokesperson said: “We will not comment on any house on the Sandringham Estate.
“We won’t comment. The Sandringham Estate will deal with any enquires.”
Another neighbouring company R Ward Vehicle and Machinery, which is based in a unit to the rear of the farm house, also said they could not provide a comment.
A woman in the sales room said: “We know nothing about it I’m afraid.
“We don’t know anything so I can’t give you any information.”
Marsh Farm is currently unoccupied and unfurnished.
Two reception rooms and a kitchen are at the front of the property.
A wooden gate opens to a short gravel driveway leading to the house. And an empty fish and chip box and cans of red bull had been thrown on the doorstep.
Less than a quarter of a mile away is the village social club which runs monthly bingo nights.
