Jordanthorpe Farm, off Bochum Parkway close to Mossbrook School, has an asking price of £599,950 and can trace its history back to 1660.
It was once owned by Sir Francis Chantrey, a leading sculptor of the Regency era, who was born in the property in 1781.
The five-bedroom detached house retains many of its original features, such as stone-flagged flooring and characterful timber beams.
