Blackwell is a house built in the Arts & Crafts style near Bowness-on-Wndermere in the Lake District. It was designed by Baillie Scott and erected between 1898 and 1900 as a holiday home for Manchetser brewer Edward Holt.
Being of that era it is not perhaps surprising that the house and some of its contents bear a similarity to the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh who was a contemporary.
