The Grade II listed building dates back to the 1350s and is among the oldest residential properties in England.
Originally a row of workers’ cottages, the timber-framed building has been altered over the centuries to become a five-bedroom home in the village of Brewood, Staffs.
It features a timbered front and a private walled garden at the rear.
Inside, the home features an Inglenook-style fireplace, exposed ceiling beams and a moulded crown post roof, as reported by Luxury Property News.
James Ashworth, of agents Landwood Group, said: “Old Smithy Cottages is a piece of living history.
“To find a property that has survived from the 14th Century and remained a cherished home for nearly 700 years is incredibly rare.
“What makes this property even more remarkable is how it has adapted over the centuries.
“It offers the space and flexibility that modern families require, but does so within a framework of stunning period features, from massive arch braces to its iconic timber-framed facade.”
The property is being auctioned on June 24 by Landwood Group for offers of about £395,000.
