\nEllen DeGeneres has reportedly clashed with her British neighbors in the Cotswolds over an extension at her multimillion-dollar home.\n
The former talk show host, 67, packed up and moved to England with her wife, Portia de Rossi, in November 2024.\n
The duo purchased a stunning farmhouse in the hoity-toity area for an eye-popping $18 million \u2014 some $3 million over the asking price.\n
However, since starting afresh in the UK, the duo have faced some blowback after wanting to put in an extension in their home, with locals charging that the move increases flood risk, the Daily Mail reports.\n
The \u201cFinding Dory\u201d star committed a \u201ctechnical breach\u201d when building their single-story extension, the outlet claims.\n
\n
Now, the local parish council has allegedly received several objections from residents who are speaking out against the comedian\u2019s home.\n
\u201cThe onus is on the owner to report any historic remains uncovered,\u201d council documents read, as three parish counsellors expressed concerns that nearby Roman remains could be affected.\n
Other residents noted that the hedge and wire fence at DeGeneres\u2019 home could increase flood risk in the village, as trash could become \u201ccaught in the fence\u201d and subsequently limit \u201cflow across the field.\u201d\n
However, a spokesperson for West Oxfordshire District Council said the Roman remains are more than 200 yards from their property, and that the work was \u201ccompleted to a high standard.\u201d\n
\u201cI was at the meeting when it was discussed and yes, I contacted the officer because an extension had gone up without permission,\u201d district counsellor Rosie Pearson told the Oxford Mail.\n
\u201cIt was found not to be a material breach, and that there had been no threat to any possibility of Roman remains.\u201d\n
\n
\u201cI completely accepted this and have every confidence in the planning officers\u2019 judgment,\u201d Pearson added.\n
The Post has reached out to the West Oxfordshire District Council and DeGeneres\u2019 reps for comment.\n
It emerged in November 2024 that the couple relocated to England in the wake of Donald Trump\u2019s presidential election victory over Kamala Harris.\n
The pair purchased their Cotswolds property, located about two hours outside London, and are reportedly looking to plant firm roots there.\n
Insiders told TMZ that the duo decided to \u201cget the hell out\u201d of the country immediately following President Trump\u2019s victory, which left them feeling \u201cvery disillusioned.\u201d\n
The couple, who wed in 2008, will likely \u201cnever\u201d return to the US on a permanent basis, sources claim.\n
While it\u2019s not clear exactly why the pair decided on the Cotswolds, the region is a picturesque and wealthy part of England, with many British stars boasting country houses there.\n
Their star-studded list of neighbors includes David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Elizabeth Hurley and Jeremy Clarkson.\n
The area is also home to royalty, as King Charles and Queen Camilla own Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.\n
Just days after it was reported that they moved to the UK, DeGeneres and the \u201cArrested Development\u201d alum were spotted visiting Clarkson\u2019s pub, the Farmer\u2019s Dog, located in the area.\n
\n
In a since-deleted clip shared by the former \u201cTop Gear\u201d host\u2019s girlfriend Lisa Hogan on Instagram, the couple were seen sipping drinks as they enjoyed some live music at the rustic pub.\n
The couple\u2019s home was later rumored to have been flooded following a storm, but DeGeneres took to social media in December to set the record straight.\n
\u201cFor those of you concerned, our UK farmhouse did NOT flood,\u201d she wrote in an Instagram post.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
