The Sun had that yesterday: Andrew 'strike' among Sandringham servants as staff reject working for ex-Prince
My understanding is Wood Farm is being modernized and remodeled, so it's not ready yet. And apparently Andrew was kicked out earlier than was originally planned from Royal Lodge.
But he is currently staying at Wood Farm - which is where his father mostly lived after his retirement from public service.
Sorry, whatever Farm he's supposed to move to isn't ready yet. Maybe the king doesn't want him living there permanently for any number of reasons.
Yes, he wanted to go to Wood Farm - agree they may have trouble kicking him out.
On her Substack, Tina Brown wrote that the King like to stay at Wood Farm if he goes to Sandringham but doesn’t want to open up the big house. If she’s correct, that would explain why Andrew is going elsewhere.

Andrew also has a reputation of leaving his homes rather trashed upon moving out. I’d imagine Charles doesn’t want this to happen to Wood Farm as well. I’ve said this previously, but I hope the furnishings, fixtures, cabinetry, and decor going into Marsh Farm are relatively inexpensive stock items that are serviceable, but can be easily replaced. Let Andrew live with lamps from Amazon and IKEA furniture if he’s going to be a slob.Correct! When Charles and Camilla want a few days in Norfolk, Wood Farm is often used; The papers {including the better ones] have often noted that the couple are at Wood Farm; it saves opening 'The Big House' which they tend to do only for Christmas and large shoots etc. It's the same when Charles and Camilla go to Balmoral; they tend not to say in the castle itself, but nearby Birkhall.
Occasionally there are claims in the press that Charles will change his residences to Wood Farm when in Norfolk and Birkhall when in Scotland and then open Sandringham and Balmoral to the paying public all year round. It sounds plausible, but I have never heard any formal announcement to this effect. Similarly, the papers occasionally say that Charles will not move back into Buckingham Palace when the renovations have been completed, but will remain at Clarence House. Who knows if this is true?
To deal with a couple of other matters raised above: here is a photo from the BBC showing the relative positions of Sandringham, Wood Farm and Marsh Farm.
What do we know about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's Sandringham home?
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sets up home on the estate where the Royal Family gathers at Christmas.
I should imagine that because Wood Farm used to be the base of Prince Phillip and even the Queen when she joined her husband, I would expect it would have been furnished to a high standard and I don't think that Charles would like Andrew there. Apart from the way is had been furnished, I think that it would be somewhat 'jarring' to have the unpleasant Andrew living in the same place that housed HLM and Prince Philip, both regarded as honourable.
By the way Marsh Farm is larger than people have been led to believe - it has 5 bedrooms. And I think Andrew is very fortunate to be given ANY sort dwelling. We (or most of us) all have to find somewhere to live!
Again, going back to Tina Brown’s Substack, she said Prince Philip had Wood Farm decorated in quite a spartan, naval style. When King Charles moved in he brought over some antiques from the house in Wales that the Duchy of Cornwall had owned.
Both Marsh and Wood Farm been empty for a long time before AMW moved in and its also part of the royal estate at Sandringham.
