Ellen DeGeneres' £15m Cotswolds Farmhouse Hits the Market: Is This Her Goodbye to the UK?
EXCLUSIVE: Ellen DeGeneres' Cotswolds Farmhouse Nightmare!
In a shocking move, beloved TV host Ellen DeGeneres has put her stunning £15million Cotswolds farmhouse on the market - just nine months after moving in from the US!
The news comes as a surprise to fans and fellow celebrities alike, especially given DeGeneres' recent gushing about her love for Britain and its quaint countryside. But what's behind this sudden change of heart?
Sources close to the couple reveal that Ellen, 67, and wife Portia de Rossi, 52, were thrilled with their new life in the Cotswolds - until disaster struck! Just days after moving into the six-bedroom farmhouse, a tributary of the River Thames burst its banks, leaving them virtually marooned.
"We were left high and dry," Ellen admitted during a recent appearance at Cheltenham's Everyman Theatre. "The flooding was catastrophic. We thought we'd made a mistake by buying this house."
Despite the setbacks, DeGeneres insisted that she's not selling the property because of the flood - but rather due to her desire for a change. "We decided we needed a different house," Ellen explained. "So if anyone wants a house, it's a beautiful house... it's a beautiful stone farmhouse!"
But here's the juicy bit: DeGeneres has already moved on to a new home, a stunning £24million property perched on a hilltop in Oxfordshire. And let's just say, this one comes with some seriously dark history - an old farmhouse where a man was murdered!
The Real Reason Ellen Left Her Cotswolds Farmhouse
Ellen's decision to sell the farmhouse was reportedly sparked by her desire for a quieter life, away from the chaos of celebrity politics and the constant scrutiny that comes with being a household name. And who can blame her? With the likes of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West dominating headlines, it's no wonder DeGeneres wants to lay low.
But what about the flood? Was that really the reason for the sale? Insiders claim that while the flooding was certainly a major factor, Ellen's desire for a change of scenery played a significant role in her decision to put the farmhouse on the market.
Ellen's New Home: A £24million Mansion with Dark History
DeGeneres' new pad is a far cry from the humble Cotswolds farmhouse. This sleek, modern mansion boasts 10,000sqft living space, complete with its own cinema, gym, and steam room. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance - a gigantic outdoor infinity pool!
But what about the dark history surrounding this property? Well, it seems that an old farmhouse once stood on the site where DeGeneres' new home now resides - and it was here that a man was brutally murdered.
The Ultimate Real Estate Queen: Ellen's Property Empire
Ellen's love of real estate is well-documented. In 2023, she confessed to having bought and sold over 50 houses, including a £24million property in California! And now, with this Cotswolds farmhouse sale, DeGeneres' portfolio just got even bigger.
So, will we see Ellen's next move? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure - the world can't get enough of America's sweetheart, Ellen DeGeneres!
