The large market town of Skipton is just a 10 minute drive,and offers excellent schools, shopping and transport links.

Hetton continues to be very much a family orientated village and we have recently sold property to families with young children.
HETTON The picturesque village of Hetton is without doubt one of the Yorkshire Dales most sought after communities, offering a highly desirable living environment amidst glorious open countryside. Hetton is set around five miles or so from the nearest town of Skipton. Whilst Hetton's amenities amount to little more than the renowned 'Angel Inn', local shopping is on offer in nearby Grassington and Gargrave, whilst Skipton provides a much more extensive range of amenities including a well regarded schooling system - although there are a number excellent private schools relatively close to hand. The beautiful open countryside and rugged moors which surround Hetton offer many opportunities for rural pursuits.
