'Highden' was designed by Frederick de Jersey Clere and built in 1898 for the Honourable Walter Woods Johnston. In 1903 a wing, designed by C T Natusch, was added. Highden was bought by the Society of Mary in 1923 and occupied by the Marist Brothers. Novices would spend 1, of their 8 - 9 years of training for the Priesthood, at Highden. In 1990 it was again sold, as a Bed and Breakfast, and then in 2000 for an international school. It has since changed hands again and goes under the name Highden Manor Estate.

To the left can be seen the dormitory accommodation with a walkway to the house, that was built on during its time as a seminary.
