Moorfield House, Headingley, Victorian house in Headingley, England

Moorfield House features a three-storey octagonal tower, corner turrets, and a central porch with carvings of crouching dogs and human heads.

William Glover Joy constructed Moorfield House between 1855 and 1856 while managing his family's seed crushing and oil merchant enterprise during the railway expansion.

The property includes an octagonal chapel and paneled rooms that demonstrate the Gothic architectural elements prevalent in Victorian residential buildings.

The building contains thirty parking spaces and stands near Burley Park and Headingley railway stations, three miles northwest of Leeds city center.

The house transformed from a private residence to a missionary college, wartime administrative offices, and later became headquarters for various businesses.
