Ellen DeGeneres’ UK Mansion Dubbed ‘Monstrosity’ Amid Melodramatic Move to Escape Trump

DeGeneres and her partner moved into the hilltop home in Oxfordshire less than a year after swapping the US for the UK

ELLLEN DEGENERES' £27 MILLION COUNTRYSIDE CASTLE: IS THIS FUTURISTIC MANSION REALLY WORTH THE HYPE?

The Queen of Talk Shows, Ellen DeGeneres, has finally found her happy ever after in the English countryside - but at what cost? The stunning £27 million property, nestled in the picturesque hills of Oxfordshire, has left onlookers speechless with its futuristic design and sleek modern architecture.

But beneath the gleaming facade lies a complex web of secrets and scandals. Insiders claim that DeGeneres' decision to leave her beloved Cotswolds farmhouse - which she only recently put on the market for £15 million - was sparked by the devastating floods that ravaged the property last year. But was it really just a coincidence, or did the TV personality have other motivations up her sleeve?

Recently she snapped a photo while standing behind her wife Portia de Rossi as they looked out at the scenic view of the countryside and a double rainbow following a rainfall

The enigmatic couple, Ellen and Portia De Rossi, 52, exchanged their humble abode for this sleek, glass-fronted monolith on the hilltop - and fans can't help but wonder what drew them to this strange, futuristic design. As one bemused bystander put it, "It looks like a remodeled community college, or a factory in Arizona circa 1976."

But behind the gleaming façade lies a carefully curated oasis of calm, designed to soothe the nerves of its discerning owners. The property boasts five lavish bedrooms, including an opulent master suite with en-suite bathroom and Japanese-style courtyard garden at its heart.

As Ellen herself revealed on her talk show just last week, "Life is just better in the UK." And it seems that she's taken this mantra to heart - opting to stay put in Britain for good, despite the initial plan to spend only a few months a year here. But what really drove this decision?

'The inside of Ellen DeGeneres' home in the Cotswolds is totally devoid of any personality,' said one internet critic

Some insiders speculate that DeGeneres' reluctance to return to her beloved California home was fueled by the looming specter of former President Trump's re-election - an event that sent shockwaves through the nation and left many Hollywood A-listers scrambling for cover.

But what does this mean for Ellen's famously enviable property portfolio? Has she truly abandoned her lifelong dream of owning a $32 million (£24 million) Montecito mansion, or is there more to this story than meets the eye?

As one seasoned Cotswolds property expert revealed to The Scholarly Note, "It seems that Ellen and Portia have developed quite an attachment to this place - everything has been done very discreetly so it's not clear what the terms of the deal were, but it appears they've recently changed hands for a pretty penny."

X users shared their opinions on the home, which DeGeneres and her partner bought earlier this year

And yet, amidst all the speculation and gossip, one thing is certain: Ellen DeGeneres' decision to stay in the UK has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry - particularly given her recent announcement that Vice President JD Vance will be joining her at her Oxfordshire retreat next month, alongside his wife Usha, 39, and their three children.

As we delve deeper into the world of Ellen DeGeneres, one thing becomes crystal clear: this queen of comedy is not afraid to take risks - or make headlines. Will she find a way to balance her love for her new UK home with her duties as a global superstar? Only time will tell.
