You’ve probably heard the news by now that come next Spring, James Corden will no longer be the host of “The Late, Late Show”, having decided to hang-up his pristinely tailored late-night suit to focus on other opportunities. What those opportunities are and where he’ll pursue them, we don’t yet know, but it’s left Corden’s fanbase wondering if he’ll be leaving the friendly confines of Los Angeles for a return to his birthplace of jolly old England. But here’s the thing about James Corden – over the past seven years he and his family have become increasingly comfortable with a glamorous Hollywood lifestyle that centers around his remarkable $10 million home. At the time they purchased the house, Corden and his wife -- interior designer Julia Carey – had recently expanded their family with the birth of their first two children and had a third already on its way. That’s when they found this quintessential residence that was absolutely perfect for a growing-family, having even previously been owned by the creator of “Modern Family” itself, Steven Levitan.
I've decided to sign for one more year on the show and that this will be this will be
my last year hosting the late night show.

and I have dropped our own house tour of our new home that we moved into this year so go
ahead and subscribe to our personal channel if you want to see where we're living and
more of what we're up to in these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though
I've done a house tour of my own place please do not show up at any private residences because
it's not safe for anyone but here's the thing about James Corden over the past seven years
he and his family have become increasingly comfortable with a glamorous Hollywood lifestyle
that centers around his remarkable 10 million dollar home at the time they purchased the
house Corden and his wife interior designer Julia Carey had recently expanded their family
with the birth of their first two children and had a third already on the way that's
when they found this residence that was perfect for a growing family described in marketing
materials as a fabulous two-story New England traditional this stately structure was originally
built in 1997 and is located on a sprawling 20,000 square foot lot situated inside the
celebrity packed district of Brentwood Park here fellow big-time stars like Gwyneth Paltrow
Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg also live visiting guests are immediately welcomed into
the home by greenery and foliage out front as they walk their way up the paved motor
court towards the unit's charming red front door stepping inside you'll discover a double
height foyer that not only leads directly into a wood paneled library but also steps
down into a comfortable living room complemented with a very cozy looking fireplace and furnished
elegantly with a grand piano alongside white walls and traditional wood floors as an added
bonus nearby large windows allow for plenty of extra sunlight to pour in while double
doors lead out towards the exterior terrace and sitting area over in the chef's kitchen
gleaming hardwood floors and exposed wooden beams on the ceiling lend a dramatic feel
to the space and there's also top-of-the-line appliances as well as a gorgeous breakfast
nook situated not far from the kitchen is an extra family room which has been decorated
in a fashion similar to the living room with a large patterned rug and plush neutral sofas
and next to there is an even more formal dining area with a stunning table set up that seats
at least 10 for celebrating with friends elsewhere in this 8609 square foot home are five bedrooms
and six and a half bathrooms with the master suite boasting dark brown hardwood floors
alongside a sitting area and a fireplace of its very own meanwhile the ensuite is full
of white marble tiling a glass enclosed shower a built-in soaking tub and private balcony
overlooking the property's lush backyard downstairs there's the epic basement that
not only boasts its very own media lounge with a large TV leather couches and an impressive
looking pool table but a fully stocked gym as well one that leads outwards into the exterior
gardens speaking of those exterior spaces heading out to the backyard you'll discover
a half acre lot that's fenced in for total privacy with a brick surrounded pool and spa
next to some olive trees in a gazebo after securing this place for his family in mid
2017 cordon would hold off on moving in for a few months as he paid for a series of major
renos the exact specifics of the remodeling have never been revealed but it's believed
that cordon had a designer office space installed with top-of-the-line computers and an editing
suite to help out with his busy work schedule since then cordon and his family lived here
for five years but the question is will they continue to do so after james recently shocked
the entertainment world by announcing his departure from the late late show speaking
with deadline after the news of his departure broke james told them that he genuinely didn't
know what was in the cards stating it's something we think about and we talk about a lot but
we haven't really made a decision on that yet that's the life side of things which we'll
figure out well with spring coming up quick it's something james will have to figure out
sooner rather than later then again recent headlines from across the pond might have
already given away which way he's leaning james cordon's current a-list lifestyle stands
in contrast to his childhood and youth in england you need proof of that look no further
than his childhood home a modest semi-detached structure located in hazlemere buckingham
shire where he lived with his parents margaret and malcolm along with two sisters andrea
and ruth while james and his new family unit have since embraced the california lifestyle
that doesn't mean they don't miss the comforts of home he once explained to the daily mail
we're a long way from home my wife and i and our children and there are people at home
that we miss deeply and we care about and they're getting older should he and his family
decide to return to england one potential family home they could have moved into was
this sizable five-story house that james owned in bell size park james purchased this property
for himself way back in 2010 for an estimated 3 million pounds there's not a whole lot of
information out there about this residence but what i do know is this about a year ago
james and his next door neighbor um you might have heard of him his name is chris martin
teamed up to ensure that a third neighbor of theirs wasn't permitted to carry through with
plans that he had on creating a massive basement extension apparently the celebrity's issue
stems from the fact that both james and chris were renting out their properties in bell
size park for somewhere around 15 000 pounds a month and they were worried that the noise
and disturbance of construction would threaten that sizable amount of income but despite
cordon's objections city councilors still gave the neighbor the green light to move
ahead so what did cordon do he wound up selling the place instead how much he made on this
deal hasn't been confirmed but it's believed he more than doubled his original investment
of 3 million pounds when asked if the sale of the house meant that cordon and his family
have decided once and for all to stay stateside a close friend of the family would tell the
daily mail this house sale doesn't necessarily mean that he has left the uk for good the
family will be looking for a new property in the uk that is more suitable for their
three children in other words the cordon clan will be looking for a house where they're
less likely to be bothered by a few pesky neighbors and going by the most recent headlines
they'll be house hunting in the uk when they do so until then all we have left to do is
enjoy james cordon's final few months as the host of the late late show and hopefully
get as many carpool karaoke segments out of him as we possibly can not that those will
probably be going anywhere after all that segment had made cordon into a star and my
guess is that he's set to expand it into bigger and better things for now however that's gonna
bring this latest edition of house tour to a close thanks so much for watching and before
you leave take a moment to answer this question if you suddenly became world famous would
