An apartment in a Scottish mansion once owned by the early 20th century Conservative prime minister Arthur Balfour in is on the market for £2.4million.

A stately apartment in a mansion that has hosted royals, aristocrats, and celebrities is up for sale for more than £2.4 million.

Whittingehame House was originally the home of Arthur Balfour, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the early twentieth century.

William Gladstone, Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, HG Wells, and Arthur Conan Doyle were among those who visited him.

Balfour was also visited by King Edward VII, who planted a commemorative oak tree in the 16-acre grounds while he was Prime Minister.

The Grade A listed palace in East Lothian, Scotland, is currently divided into seven apartments and is still recognized as one of Britain’s best neo-classical country residences.

The Balfour, which is for sale through Cullerton’s estate agents, is the largest of the apartments at 9,000 square feet and has three beautiful state rooms.

The 1917 Balfour Declaration, which outlined British support for the formation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine and was signed when Balfour was Foreign Secretary, is thought to have been signed in the Whittingehame library, which is now part of the flat for sale.

A rich music room, a conservatory bathroom with a large rolltop bath from which you can watch the stars, and a grand summer house with a neo-classical temple style veranda are all available at the Balfour.

An entrance hall, kitchen, dining room, drawing room, four bedrooms, and three bathrooms are all located on the same floor.

Marble fireplaces and pillars, moulded ceilings, and ancient oak floors are just a few of the amazing characteristics.
