The TV host swapped her life in Beverly Hills for the Cotswolds cobbles just last year, but now her impressive farmhouse is back on the market, and it is a sight to behold
The famous talk show host left the Hollywood Hills behind to make a new life for herself in the English countryside, along with her wife, actor Portia de Rossi, but now the two are selling their Cotswolds home.
‌
Ellen reportedly moved into the home in November 2024 but is already on the hunt for a new pad again a short-term stay turned into a full-time homestead. After hearing the US election results, the couple decided they weren't quite ready to go back to the States, and what was supposed to be a break turned into a new lifestyle.
‌
Although, after appearing at a one-off show hosted at Cheltenham's Everyman Theatre, the Daily Mail reported Ellen opened up to fans about her plans to sell up. The 67-year-old explained: 'We decided we needed a different house, and now we are selling that house. So if anyone wants a house, it's a beautiful stone farmhouse."
‌
Now, the pair have settled into a new home nearby as they anticipate the sale of Kitesbridge Farm, a 43-acre farmhouse they renovated from six bedrooms to seven and an additional two-bedroom guest cottage. The farmhouse is made up of a gym, an indoor pool, a games room, private offices, and, of course, in true celeb style, a helipad.
No swanky Cotswolds escape is complete without its very own pub, even for an American like Ellen. Initially, the couple was thought to have paid a sizeable £15 million for their idyllic home, but following their personal touches and expansions, it is now on the market for an eye-watering £22.5 million.
‌
The heart of the home is the spacious farmhouse kitchen and breakfast room on the ground floor. Sharing the floor is a principal bedroom suite, fit with two luxurious dressing rooms, a marble ensuite, and beautiful French doors leading out to a private space in the greenest of gardens.
Sitting comfortably in the small village of Asthall in West Oxfordshire, this vast estate is just a 10-minute drive from Burford and is surrounded by plenty of famous spots. This includes the likes of Asthall Manor and Jeremy Clarkson's much-loved charming country pub, The Windmill.
Further explaining their eccentric move to the countryside, the TV star explained it was the day before the US election that the two moved to the UK. After hearing the news about Trump, they decided to stay put for a while, and that little while quickly turned into eight months and an entire house revamp.
‌
Ellen shared: "So we bought a house that we thought was going to be a part-time house. Then we decided we needed a different house, and now we are selling that house. So if anyone wants a house, it's a beautiful house. It's a beautiful stone farmhouse. To clarify, I'm not selling the new one. I'm selling the old stone farmhouse."
Touching further on her time here in the UK, she said: "I really like the people. Fish and chips are delicious too. The UK is beautiful. It is absolutely beautiful. We are just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. Even in the villages and the towns, I love the architecture and houses. Everything you see here is charming. It is a simpler way of life," The Daily Mail reports.
It was reported in April that the comedian had swapped her idyllic home in Asthall for an alternative mansion on the outskirts of another Oxfordshire village. The move seemed to be handled with discretion, but House & Garden has unveiled that their new, more modern pad spans 10,000 square feet and is no more lacking in luxury, with an infinity pool, theatre, and gym.
