They have listed their 43-acre estate in the Cotswolds, dubbed as Kitesbridge Farm, for £22.5 million (roughly $30 million), The Wall Street Journal quoted listing agent Andrew Barnes of UK Sotheby's International Realty as saying. The property was purchased by them for $20 million in spring 2024. Barnes told the news outlet that they carried out "extensive renovation" there, but have now moved to a large, more contemporary estate. Their new house is located nearby to Kitesbridge Farm.

In a statement, DeGeneres informed that the new property did not have space for her partner's horses. 'When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn't live without her horses... We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them," DeGeneres said. Situated in Swinbrook, Oxfordshire, the Kitesbridge Farm has a total living space of 16,600 sq ft, which is spread across multiple structures and remains connected through glass walkways. The main house, which has six bedrooms, dates back to the 1700s and remains connected to a two-bedroom guesthouse. Also, there is a separate party barn with a pub, while another building has a heated swimming pool and gym. At the time of purchase, the property was 'quite tired, with a quite basic finish,' according to Barnes. He added that the couple brought 70 workers, who worked for four-and-a-half months to completely renovate the estate, despite the contractors telling them that this would take almost a year to 18 months. After staying there for about a month, they have now moved out, and Barnes said that their new residence looks like it belongs "in Malibu". Kitesbridge Farm remains one of the most expensive properties on the market in the Cotswolds. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi had in August last year sold their house near California's Santa Barbara for $96 million. They purchased that property for about $70 million. FAQs: 1.

Ellen DeGeneres ‘would love' to host another talk show years after toxic workplace allegations
Ellen DeGeneres is not ruling out the possibility of another talk show in her future. During a live conversation with broadcaster Richard Bacon on Sunday, the 67-year-old former talk show host shared that she misses so many things about hosting her own show, but doesn't think that format would work in today's world. Advertisement 'I mean, I wish it did, because I would do the same thing here,' she told Bacon, per the BBC. 'I would love to do that again, but I just feel like people are watching on their phones, or people aren't really paying attention as much to televisions, because we're so inundated with information and entertainment.' Since moving to England in November 2024, DeGeneres has taken her time in deciding on her next career move, admitting she is making that move 'very carefully.' While she doesn't know what is next for her, she says, 'I want to have fun, I want to do something. I do like my chickens, but I'm a little bit bored.' The comedian hosted 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' for 19 seasons from 2003 to 2022. The show came to an end two years after allegations of a toxic work environment came to light in July 2020. 4 Ellen DeGeneres shared that she misses so many things about hosting her own show, but doesn't think that format would work in today's world. Advertisement DeGeneres addressed the allegations during the opening monologue on the first episode of her 18th season. In the monologue, the comedian issued an on-air apology, in which she called herself 'a work in progress' before adding she is 'especially working on the impatience thing.' 'No matter what, any article that came up, it was like, 'She's mean,' and it's like, how do I deal with this without sounding like a victim or 'poor me' or complaining? But I wanted to address it,' she said in her conversation with Bacon. 'It's as simple as, I'm a direct person, and I'm very blunt, and I guess sometimes that means that… I'm mean?' She went on to say that she finds it 'hurtful' that she probably can't 'say anything that's ever going to get rid of…or dispel' the rumors that she is mean, and that she 'hate[s] that people think that.' 4 'I mean, I wish it did, because I would do the same thing here,' DeGeneres said.

Ellen DeGeneres eyes talk show comeback from England
Ellen DeGeneres may be done with American daytime television, but she's not done talking. During a live event in Gloucestershire, England, the 67-year-old comedian revealed she's open to returning to talk show hosting, this time from across the Atlantic. 'I would love to do that again,' Ellen told broadcaster Richard Bacon, when asked if she'd ever consider launching another show. 'But I just feel like people are watching on their phones, or people aren't really paying attention as much to televisions, because we're so inundated with information and entertainment.' It's been three years since The Ellen DeGeneres Show signed off after a 19-year run marked by both accolades and controversy. Since then, Ellen has kept a low profile, making headlines mostly for her quiet relocation to the Cotswolds in the U.K. with wife Portia de Rossi. What was originally intended as a part-time overseas retreat became a permanent move following Donald Trump's re-election. Ellen joked that the shift to rural English life included sheep that stayed for 'about two weeks' and seeing snow 'for the first time in my life'. Despite embracing the countryside and tending to chickens, Ellen hinted at creative restlessness. 'I want to have fun; I want to do something. I do like my chickens but I'm a little bit bored,' she admitted. Still, she said she's taking her next step 'very carefully' and has yet to decide what exactly that will look like. While a British talk show isn't confirmed, her comments suggest she's looking for something fresh, possibly reimagining what daytime TV could be in the streaming age. Whether it's another traditional series or something entirely unexpected, Ellen's next act may be closer than fans think.

Why Ellen DeGeneres Relocated To UK? Comedian Reveals If Trump Was The Reason
The comedian revealed that she and her partner have permanently settled in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire. Popular show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres has been away from the United States for a while. After months of speculation, she has now confirmed her relocation to the United Kingdom. On July 20, during an event hosted at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham, England, DeGeneres opened up about her move and what led her to make the decision. It comes as no surprise that she, along with her wife Portia de Rossi, made the move following Donald Trump's re-election as US President. Speaking with broadcaster Richard Bacon, the comedian revealed that she and her partner have permanently settled in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire. She initially moved to the UK in November, just a day before the US election. The results, she said, motivated her to stay permanently. She also expressed her relief about the decision, according to the BBC. 'It's absolutely beautiful," she said. 'We're just not used to seeing this kind of beauty." Appreciating the natural surroundings, DeGeneres praised everything from the villages and towns to the architecture, calling it 'a simpler way of life." She added, 'We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens—and we had sheep for about two weeks." It's not just the landscape that drew her in. DeGeneres also highlighted how the political climate in the UK feels more stable and welcoming, especially in contrast to the US under Trump's leadership. She voiced concerns over LGBTQ+ rights in America, revealing that she and de Rossi are even considering getting remarried in the UK. 'The Baptist Church in America is trying to reverse gay marriage," she said. 'They're trying to literally stop it from happening in the future and possibly reverse it." She described how unsettling it feels to live in a place where people can't be their true selves. 'I wish that we lived in a society where everybody could accept other people and their differences," she said. Beyond her personal life, DeGeneres also reflected on the end of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which concluded in 2022 after 19 seasons. The show faced backlash in its final years amid reports of a toxic work environment—claims DeGeneres has previously addressed. Looking ahead, she said she will be more selective about her next projects. 'I want to have fun. I want to do something," she noted.
