Old Smithy Cottages is a remarkable Grade II listed historic home with origins dating back to the 14th century, believed to be the oldest inhabited property in the county, and among the oldest in England. Originally a row of workers' cottages, it now offers flexible accommodation with four reception rooms, a large dining kitchen, five bedrooms, and three WCs and two bath/shower rooms. Unusually for a property of its age and central village location, it includes gated driveway parking, a garage, and generous garden space, extending to just over 0.2 acres and the accommodation, including the garage block extends to 2902 sq. ft.
The property sits in the heart of Brewood, a highly regarded South Staffordshire village known for its historic charm and strong community. Everyday amenities are within easy reach, with local shops, cafs, traditional pubs, and a medical centre all located in the village centre.

Old Smithy Cottage has a timbered front facing Dean Street, though everyday access is usually from the rear. Remote or phone-controlled solid oak gates with a pedestrian gate open to a brick-set courtyard drive, providing secure and private parking for several vehicles. A gate leads to the part-walled rear garden, with a brick terrace for outdoor dining, a shaped lawn with mature planting, and a south-westerly aspect. Two garden stores and a brick-and-tile garage complete the setting.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
