Ellen DeGeneres shares a rare look at a glass-walled British farmhouse as her other British home remains on the market for $30 million

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres has revealed a rare glimpse into her sprawling English country retreat, almost a year after her wife Portia de Rossi sensationally left their American residence to move to Britain full-time.

Former TV host DeGeneres, 67, and de Rossi, 52, who are known for their lucrative home-flipping side hustle, wasted no time in bringing that hobby to their new home country, where they bought two multi-million dollar rural stays in a matter of months.

The second of those purchases – an incredibly modern farmhouse with glass walls – now serves as their primary residence, with the comedian offering a quick look inside the property in a new Instagram video.

DeGeneres’ clip showed off the couple’s newest addition, an adorable puppy named Sportgetting to know their other dog, Childin the living area of ​​the elegant property, where you can see the incredible glass wall that opens onto a huge and very well-manicured backyard.

The open space features a large glass table decorated with books, candles and other decorative trinkets, as well as a huge dining table with enough space for up to eight guests.

Her living room, meanwhile, has several seating areas, including a fluffy beige sofa, and plenty of storage space.

The camera pans around the room as the two dogs chase each other around the various pieces of furniture and race across various patterned rugs laid on the concrete floors.

There are exposed wooden beams on the ceiling, while the rear of the property has another glass wall that appears to open onto a small courtyard.

De Rossi is seen at one point in a casual outfit, complete with rain boots, giggling at the dogs as they run around the room.

In her caption, DeGeneres, who introduced Sport to her followers earlier this month, paid tribute to the couple’s late pup: Augienoting how much happiness their new puppy has brought to their lives since their loss in May.

“They’ve finally figured it out. We’ve all been sad since losing Augie. Sports have brought so much joy to our home and it makes us so happy to see Kid playing again, even though he has a very unique playing style,” she said.

It’s the latest of just a handful of occasions that DeGeneres has shared a peek inside the property, which she quietly purchased shortly after completing renovations to her home. First British farmhouse, a much more traditional stay, made of Cotswold stone.

Speak with The Wall Street Journal in July, DeGeneres explained that she and her husband made the decision to buy a second home because it offered more space for De Rossi’s horses, which the couple had flown to Britain after deciding to make the country their full-time home.

“When we decided to live here full-time, we knew Portia couldn’t live without her horses,” she said. “We needed a house with a horse facility and pastures for them.”

The house has five bedrooms and a Japanese-style courtyard in the middle. The immaculately landscaped garden leads to rolling fields where De Rossi’s horses can graze and run.

Initially the duo only planned to live in Britain part-time, using their original farmhouse more as a holiday home, until they discovered that Donald Trump had claimed victory in the 2024 presidential election, news that made them reconsider their decision to live in the US in the first place.

DeGeneres revealed this during a July conversation with the broadcaster Richard Bacon that she and De Rossi had arrived in England the day before the election with the aim of spending three or four months in the $20 million farmhouse they had already purchased in the British countryside.

As reported by the BBCWhen Bacon asked DeGeneres whether her move was motivated by Trump’s re-election, the comedian and former TV host replied: Yes.

“We came here the day before the election and woke up to a lot of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in,’” she explained. “And we say, ‘We’re staying here.'”

After realizing they wanted to settle in Britain permanently, they quickly came to the conclusion that their original home would no longer suit their needs, despite spending months carrying out extensive renovations to the property before moving in.

They have since put their first home on the market for the sky-high price of $30 million.

In a previous advertisement, the property was described as “an eco farm with the perfect modern rustic interior.” However, DeGeneres and de Rossi’s listing agent, Andrew Barnesnoted to The Wall Street Journal that the farm was somewhat “tired” when the couple purchased it.

However, that didn’t stop DeGeneres from falling in love with the house. She reportedly paid around $3.3 million above the asking price to secure the house, then hired a team of 70 workers to carry out the renovation works as quickly as possible so that it would be ready for her and De Rossi as quickly as possible.

The Journal reported that DeGeneres and de Rossi were originally given an 18-month timeline in which contractors believed the renovations could be completed — so they brought in “about 70 workers” who could finish the work in about 10 weeks, at a cost of about $9 million.

Still, DeGeneres and de Rossi would ultimately spend only a matter of weeks in the completed home before moving into their current home, which is about 30 minutes away and has a more Malibu-esque aesthetic than the traditional brick home they first purchased.

The incredibly modern design is in stark contrast to the traditional farmhouse now on the market. That property dates back to the 18th century and offers six bedrooms, as well as a party barn with its own pub – ideal for anyone with a passion for entertaining and who wants to entertain friends away from prying eyes.

Fortunately, DeGeneres and de Rossi have extensive experience when it comes to buying and selling, having amassed an estimated fortune of $190 million from their home-flipping projects over the years.

Since the mid-2000s, the duo has owned more than 34 homes in the US, almost all of which they have turned around for a profit, in some cases making renovations and putting the homes back on the market within months.
