The A-list couple's countryside home blends rustic charm with refined interiors
Ellen DeGeneres is on the move. Less than a year after she and wife Portia de Rossi left the United States to live in the UK, the couple are selling their Cotswolds farmhouse for £22.5 million following extensive renovations. Known for their impressive property portfolio, Ellen and Portia certainly have an eye for gorgeous properties, and naturally, this Oxfordshire estate is no exception.
Named Kitesbridge Farm, the property sits on a 43-acre lot and is reportedly one of the most expensive listings in the Cotswolds – the average house price in the area is £446,247.
The primary residence, which dates back to the 1700s, features a whopping seven bedrooms as well as rustic architectural details like sun-drenched windows and exposed wooden trusses. Meanwhile, the property's secondary buildings house a private gym, heated pool, and, if you can believe it, a private pub.
As far as the design goes, the property's sleek silhouette and textured details strike a healthy balance between refined and rustic. Fancy taking a peek inside? Keep scrolling for a tour of Ellen and Portia's idyllic abode.
With 14,660 square feet of liveable space, Kitesbridge Farm boasts several freestanding buildings that are linked through a series of glass enclosures.
The 43-acre estate features a sophisticated, stacked-stone façade that contrasts beautifully with the whimsical, thoughtfully designed landscape.
There's plenty of comfort to be found in this living room. The sun-drenched space boasts a trio of low-slung shearling sofas.
Towards the back of the large, light-filled room is the dining area, perfect for meals and chic gatherings.
This kitchen is a masterclass in mixing materials and layering textures, thanks to the wooden island, sturdy countertops, and limewashed walls.
Each bedroom is designed with the sweetest dreams in mind. In this retreat, exposed beams, a stacked stone wall and a fireplace evoke rustic, cosy vibes.
A freestanding tub and pops of marble with dramatic veining make this one bathroom you'll want to spend a lot of time in.
Whimsical wallpaper, concealed storage, and a rounded island make this walk-in wardrobe/dressing room just as stylish as the clothes you might hang inside.
While Ellen and Portia turned this space into a gym, we think it could also make for a great playroom or home cinema.
Thanks to this indoor pool, you can enjoy a swim year-round. Textured walls and wooden accents round out the space, evoking the spirit of a Scandinavian spa.
Happy hour, anyone? The property's on-site bar has been reimagined to include a classic British pub.
