We understand that Highstead was once part of the Walland Cary Estate and that the house (much enlarged now) was tied accommodation for the gamekeeper employed by the Estate. Woodpecker Cottage was originally used as kennels for the Estate dogs. During the last century the Estate was gradually sold in lots to new owners and Highstead became a farm with several fields to the east of the property and was home to sheep and a small herd of cows. When we purchased the property Woodpecker Cottage was used as a an agricultural tool shed and we hoped that we would be able to convert it to a dwelling that could be enjoyed by holiday makers...
