Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s search for the perfect UK escape has led them to a lavish new chapter—one without flooded hallways. After their original £15 million Cotswolds estate proved more trouble than tranquility, the couple has upgraded to a hilltop mansion, leaving the waterlogged past behind.
The new home, nestled in Oxfordshire, comes with a key feature their last property lacked: flood protection. With a state-of-the-art drainage system and elevated positioning, it’s the antithesis of their previous struggles. And while the price tag remains under wraps, it’s safe to assume the move didn’t come cheap.
Yet, even in paradise, there’s a shadow. The property’s grounds include the site of a centuries-old farmhouse with a violent history—a detail that may raise eyebrows. Still, Ellen and Portia appear smitten, recently showcasing their sprawling new digs.
For the pair, who sought refuge in the UK from American political tensions, the shift represents more than just a change of address. It’s a fresh start, free from soggy floors and full of dry, peaceful luxury.
