The luxurious property is worth a whopping £17.5 million and has been used to house The Apprentice hopefuls.
When they're not being grilled by Lord Sugar in the boardroom or out on anxiety-fuelled jobs, the programme's contestants have previously been seen relaxing at the massive bed.
The pile can be found on swanky The Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, North London — dubbed Billionaires' Row.
The nine-bathroom luxury abode is thought to be the most expensive pad used by the hit BBC show.
It was up for sale last year with posh estate agents Sotheby's but is now up for rent on Rightmove.
The house is set behind a private-gated driveway and includes a car lift, as well as multiple landscaped gardens.
The rental listing goes onto say there is a state-of-the-art cinema room with bar and wine stores and a full leisure complex, including a 12 metre pool, gym, sauna, steam room, ice fountain and "treatment room".
There is also a "generously sized staff quarters" and five reception rooms.
The listing adds: "This ambassadorial residence is the embodiment of sophistication and elegant design with many decorative flourishes throughout."
As well as being used for The Apprentice, Huxley House has appeared on TV on Channel 4's Britain's Most Expensive Houses.

Billionaires' Row, which has 66 mansions, is home to some of the world's richest people.
The Saudi royal family sold 10 properties along the street for £73million, while the Sultan of Brunei is thought to own at least one house there.
Beatle Paul McCartney's ex Heather Mills lived in an apartment in one of the houses.
Over the years, it's seen many other famous faces including film star Gracie Fields, who lived on the site of The Towers, the former newspaper publisher Richard Desmond, a Nigerian oil billionaire and a Kazakh oligarch.
Justin Bieber has even rented mansions in the area.
The late Princess Diana and her two sons were also said to be frequenters of the street, who would visit King Constantine II of Greece at his Hampstead pad.
It was reported that a royal Saudi Arabian family once bought 10 homes in the midst of the Gulf War, but never set foot in them.
