Former late night TV host James Corden has sold his Brentwood estate for $5 million less than its asking price, then made a beeline for his native Britain.

Corden, who stepped down last month from “The Late Late Show With James Corden,” sold the 8,600-square-foot home at 300 North Cliffwood Avenue for more than $17 million, The Messenger reported.

The seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom New England-style house was listed in February for $22 million.

Corden and his wife, Julia Carey, bought the house in 1997 for nearly $9.8 million, then gave it a lavish makeover.

“I’m just leaving the show primarily because we’re a long way from home, and we really want our children to know what it’s like to grow up in London, to have a solid relationship with their grandparents, and that is time that you don’t get back,” Corden told Jimmy Fallon about his family’s decision to relocate. “So however hard it is to go, I’m completely certain that it’s the right thing to do.”

The two-story white clapboard home, built in 1997, sits behind an imposing gate flanked by a tall hedge on a half acre in exclusive Brentwood Park.

A foyer with vaulted ceilings and custom molding leads into a mansion with hardwood floors and a living room with a fireplace, library, family room with French doors, powder room and a mudroom.
