And they liked it more each time they looked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018So it does look like it\u2019s happening. They\u2019ve been seen around there several times in recent weeks and have even had interactions with neighbours.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The modern mansion that the couple are understood to have visited several times is set in the hugely expensive area of the Cotswolds where stars including David and Victoria Beckham, Simon Cowell and Kate Moss have their homes<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Also in the vicinity of the property\u2019s extensive 100 acres of surrounding farmland, is renowned celebrity haven Soho Farmhouse where Harry and Meghan spent early dates before they married.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The source added: \u2018It represents quite a change for them &#8211; from a traditional farmhouse to something much more Hollywood. But I guess that\u2019s what they felt like after their first winter in England.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;But whatever the weather does they won&#8217;t be flooded again as it\u2019s at the top of a hill =- and the views are spectacular.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The striking modern home has huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Cotswolds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But before its dramatic transformation, the farmhouse was left unoccupied and semi derelict before being bought up by a local architect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The transformation he oversaw was dramatic: the single-story home, which has been lauded with architectural awards, offers a huge 10,000 square feet of living space<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And more than 1,000 trees have been planted on the surrounding estate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It\u2019s understood that the property first caught Portia\u2019s eye on social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And she\u2019s thought to have seen enough to be tempted to make the journey of 30 or so minutes from their current base to then view it in person, later persuading Ellen to see it too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">They are now said to be seriously contemplating switching their homes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Ellen and Portia first decided to relocate across the Atlantic to Oxfordshire following Kamala Harris\u2019 doomed campaign &#8211; which the talk show superstar had supported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The couple had already bought the home in June last year, paying \u00a32.5 million over the asking price, after \u2018falling in love\u2019 with the rolling estate, which is equipped with a helicopter launch pad and swimming pool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But it was only after Trump\u2019s landslide win that the pair sold off their $32 million Montecito home and made the permanent move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018Ellen has fallen in love with the property in the Cotswolds,\u2019 one source told The Sun at the time. \u2018She has been on the lookout for a house in the area and often visits her celebrity pals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018A Cotswolds house has become a status symbol in the celebrity world and Ellen wanted to join the pack.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But just weeks after arriving, their quaint Cotswold village and its surrounds was hit by Storm Bert, with huge flood waters surrounding their new home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The area had been battered with 80mph winds and lashings of torrential rain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018The flood waters are rising by the hour,\u2019 one local resident who lives near the couple said at the time. \u2018This is the worst I have seen in years.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;It has been absolutely bleak \u2013 it&#8217;s a beautiful area but the weather has just been a nightmare and it&#8217;s only going to get worse,\u2019 another added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;God knows what those two must be thinking after leaving California to come here. The English countryside is a long way from Los Angeles, and I doubt they were prepared for this sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I wonder whether next time they&#8217;re wading home through a soaking wet field if they might think it wasn&#8217;t worth the trouble.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">To make matters worse, the couple had a run-in with locals in the area, after concerns were raised that construction works taking place at their property could cause disturbance to Roman remains nearby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Local councillors at the village parish meeting were unimpressed that the couple\u2019s developers had not sought planning permission for a single-storey extension at the site, leading to a \u2018technical breach\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The council minutes said that \u2018concern was expressed by residents that the hedge and wire fence could increase flood risk in the village\u2019 if rubbish was swept down and \u2018caught on the fence\u2019, thereby \u2018limiting flow across the field\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Those displeased included local heiress Rosie Pearson &#8211; the youngest child of Viscount Cowdray, who later said she first raised the issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She told the Oxford Mail: \u2018I was at the meeting when it was discussed and yes, I contacted the officer because an extension had gone up without permission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018It was found not to be a material breach, and that there had been no threat to any possibility of Roman remains.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The planning tiff may have been another spur in Ellen and Portia\u2019s hunt for a new home in the Cotswolds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It may seem dramatic to change houses so relatively quickly but it\u2019s not apparently out of character: Ellen is said to be a well-known property wheeler dealer, once reportedly telling People magazine that she had bought and sold \u2018over 50 houses\u2019 over the years &#8211; including one previously owned by Brad Pitt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It is unknown if the star held onto any property back in South California, however, she was seen making a return to her former hometown of Montecito in January making a quick visit to the luxury Westlake Village retirement home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She stormed out of Hollywood incensed by the election of\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0&#8211; and moved to England for a fresh start living out her fantasy of the rural good life in the Cotswolds.
