A charming, Grade II listed, 16th century cottage in Sutton Coldfield, England is being auctioned off, with bids opening at the ludicrously low price of just 1 pound sterling (approx. U.S. $1.22).
High Heath Cottage, once known locally as “Mutton Castle,” is an idyllic, tall, and narrow abode surrounded by quintessential English farmland, around two miles from the Sutton Coldfield town center. The house was one of more than 50 unique stone homes reportedly built in the 1530s by John Harman—who later became Bishop Vesey—a keen local benefactor. The buildings were used as accommodation for his many servants, according to Bond Wolfe auctioneers.
