Stoneywell, Arts and Crafts house museum in Ulverscroft, Great Britain.
The granite and slate rubble stone building follows the natural contours of the hillside, featuring massive stone stacks and distinctive window configurations throughout its structure.
Architects Ernest Gimson and Detmar Blow completed Stoneywell in 1899 as a summer residence for Sydney Gimson, incorporating local materials and traditional building techniques.
The interior maintains numerous original Arts and Crafts furnishings designed by Ernest Gimson and Sidney Barnsley, displaying the movement's commitment to handcrafted quality.
The National Trust manages access through advance bookings, with a shuttle bus service transporting visitors from the parking area to the reception centre.
After a fire in 1939, the original thatched roof was replaced with Swithland slate, adapting the structure for year-round habitation while preserving its character.
