Ellen DeGeneres mocked over 'monstrosity' home in UK after melodramatic move to avoid Trump
Ellen DeGeneres has been mercilessly mocked over her new-build home in the English countryside, with furious Brits labelling the mansion a 'monstrosity'. The former talk show host and her partner Portia De Rossi, 52, moved into the hilltop home in Oxfordshire less than a year after swapping the US for the UK to avoid living under the Trump administration. The couple is thought to have moved into the modern home following a series of disasters including flooding at their previous abode, a $20 million (£15 million) Cotswolds farmhouse, which DeGeneres said is now on the market. But the 'beautiful, old' stone farmhouse is a far cry from the glass-fronted house the couple now calls home - with pictures of the couple's new house dividing opinion. Steve Loftus, a businessman and utility industry expert, described the futuristic home as 'a concrete and glass monstrosity.' Other X users likened the house to a 'remodeled community college', a 'factory' and a 'water treatment plant in Arizona circa 1976.' 'The inside of Ellen DeGeneres' home in the Cotswolds is totally devoid of any personality,' said another person, who added: 'It looks like a prison.' The sprawling single-storey house was built by a UK-based developer which described by it as an attempt to 'redefine rural modern living'. 'The inside of Ellen DeGeneres' home in the Cotswolds is totally devoid of any personality,' said one internet critic The couple is thought to have moved into the modern home following a series of disasters including flooding at their previous home The architect specializes in restoring industrial buildings, with the property unrecognizable from the ramshackle farmyard which previously stood on the site. The farmhouse stood empty for many years before it was finally sold as a derelict building only fit for redevelopment to the developer for almost £2million. Planning permission was granted to demolish the farmhouse and erect a 'replacement dwelling' and for the surrounding site to be landscaped. The cost of the home is unknown but reports suggest the TV personality could have bought it for anywhere between $20 million and $27 million. It is made up of five bedrooms and is built around a Japanese style courtyard garden in the centre. Pictures of the interior show a double height living room with exposed beams and minimalistic stone and wooden furnishings. The hilltop position and huge glass windows mean it boats panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. For privacy, the home is said to be set in 100 acres of unspoiled grounds, which the couple have used to keep their small flock of sheep and chickens. It is about a 30-minute drive from their original home and planning documents show it has a 'sustainable drainage system' and is not 'at risk of flooding'. DeGeneres and her wife moved to the Cotswolds last year in the hope that it would be the perfect place to avoid living under the Trump administration A Cotswolds property expert previously told the Mail that 'It's plain that Ellen and Portia love [the house]. 'Everything has been done very discreetly so it's not clear what the terms of the deal was but it seems that it has recently changed hands for not much less than they paid for their previous place. 'To buy two properties for eight figure sums in the space of a few months really is unusual, even given the many multi-millionaires around here.' Vice President JD Vance is set to travel to the idyllic rural area DeGeneres calls home next month, alongside his wife Usha, 39, and their three children next month. The news of his holiday is unlikely to go down well with DeGeneres, who revealed only last week that she had decided to stay in the UK 'for good' because of Trump's re-election. DeGeneres yesterday told an audience pf 700 fans in the Cotswolds that life is 'just better' in the UK and the US election outcome swayed her decision to move. 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, "He got in" - and we're like, "We're staying here".' The couple had initially planned to spend a few months a year in the UK, buying and moving into what DeGeneres called a 'part-time house' in November 2024 before deciding to stay. DeGeneres is a well-known collector of 'multi-million dollar homes', according to People, including a $32 million (£24 million) property in Montecito where Prince Harry and Meghan live. In 2023, she revealed that she had bought and sold 'over 50 houses' including one property in Malibu which was previously owned by Brad Pitt. Earlier this year, it was reported that she had put two homes in Montecito on the market which are thought to be among her last remaining properties in California.

Revealed: Beach shack's big glow up
Its crisp apex roofline nods to the classic child's drawing of a house – but this striking new home is anything but basic. A builder couple's reimagining of a tired Gold Coast shack, the property at 4 Alpha Ave, Currumbin is going under the hammer on June 14 with Coastal agents, Ed Cherry and Cooper McCormack. Named Aeri, the home is the fourth local project from Mitchell and Rebecca Kekwick, and one of few new builds in a tightly held pocket close to the creek, schools and beach. Its peaked roof and single-level layout are about all that remains from the original cottage, with the couple creating a four-bedroom floorplan around a landscaped internal courtyard. 'We had a decent settlement so we spent a lot of time planning. We wanted to keep the original apex shape as a bit of a homage to a home that you would draw as a kid — that being said, the existing apex was only 2.4m,' Ms Kekwick said. Raked ceilings now soar to 5.3m, enhanced by skylights filling interiors with natural light. Designed foremost as a functional family home for the Kekwicks and their two young children, the home's clean lines and neutral palette are softened by warm timber finishes, walnut joinery, and creamy Italian marble. Large sliders open onto a covered alfresco barbecue terrace and pool zone, while inside features include a designer kitchen with high-end appliances and a butler's pantry, wet room-style bathroom, office space, and a media room. Ms Kekwick, 31, was pregnant with her youngest when they took on the renovation, having spent more than a year scouting for the right site. Records show they paid $1.15m for the 569 sqm property in November 2023. A former lawyer and self-described 'Type A' personality, Ms Kekwick traded corporate life for full-time renovating — managing the design, schedules and selections while raising two children under two. Sky home with 'rock star vibes' on the market Big blow for anyone who isn't a millionaire 'We'd settled on our last house 10 days before I was due with our daughter who is now two, so we were navigating becoming parents for the first time,' Ms Kekwick said. 'We had previously renovated a few houses and I loved working with my husband, so I saw it as a bit of an out from a career I didn't love.' The couple pulled off their latest project just in time to move in together as a family of four – but not without overcoming a few major hurdles. They were hit with a surprise $25,000 quote for asbestos removal partway through the build, and later told they could face a wait of up to three months to get power connected. Then came the challenge of bringing the house in line with recently tightened building codes, adding complexity and cost to the already ambitious project. Now, Ms Kekwick is enjoying the days she has left in the property she describes as a 'dream home'. 'The house is really unassuming from the street, but I think we have created a real wow factor with the ceiling height over the hallway,' she said. 'Nothing compares to someone coming into the house and saying, 'oh my gosh, I wasn't expecting that'.' Currumbin's median house price rose 9 per cent over the past year to $1.69 million, according to PropTrack.
