Property agents Savills said Whittingehame is expected to attract considerable interest.
Past visitors included William Gladstone, Winston Churchill, Lloyd George and Herbert Asquith.
After Lord Balfour’s death in 1930 the family fortune had diminished and the estate had to be sold, becoming a farm training centre for Jewish refugee children during the Second World War.
Prior to becoming apartments in 1986, the estate was owned by an Arab sheikh.
