The six bedroom home is located in Queen Anne's Gate, overlooking St James's Park, an area regarded as one of the best-preserved areas of eighteenth century domestic architecture in London.
Currently listed at £14.85million by estate agent Savills, the Grade I listed property, that dates back between 1775 and 1778, is distinguished by a blue plaque marking it as the birth place of Lord Palmerston.
Located in the heart of London, the property is situated directly parallel to the Birdcage Walk and St James's Park, close to world renowned and iconic landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace.
It is also just a short walk away from Big Ben, St James' Palace and the River Thames.
Restored as a family home in 2000 to 2003, the house also boasts many significant, historical architectural features including ceiling paintings in the drawing room and library by renowned Swiss painter Angelica Kauffman.
Kauffman is well known for being one of the two female founders of the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1768.
Other stand out features of the house include carved fireplaces of marble and Sicilian jasper, a central sandstone staircase with iron balustrading and a delicate mahogany rail with cupola above.
A wine cellar and further under pavement storage vaults is also situated in the home.
