Headingley Castle

The house was built between 1843 and 1846 by the local architect John Child for the corn merchant Thomas England.

It was used as offices by Leeds City Council who put it on sale in 2000, and it was converted into flats.

[1] Headingley Castle is the largest of several Tudor Gothic houses designed by John Child,[3] with an exterior of ashlar and a slate roof.

Child employed modern building techniques and materials inside including cast iron in its construction with the emphasis on making it fireproof.

The entry porch has a Tudor arch, with an oriel window above, and leads to an octagonal entrance hall.
