Stoneywell
Stoneywell is a remarkable Arts and Crafts cottage tucked into the rocky Charnwood Forest landscape of Leicestershire, designed by Ernest Gimson in 1899 and barely altered since. Its organic roofline and mossy stone walls seem to grow from the hillside itself, a perfect expression of the movement's ideals. Visiting feels like stepping into a lost world of handcrafted simplicity and quiet woodland beauty.
