Thorntree House is an undeniably attractive former farmhouse, in many ways the archetypal country village home, discreetly positioned overlooking a generous fore garden within the very heart of Hetton.

The property has a wonderful embrace, with charming reception rooms, all of which are to the southern side of the property, offering excellent day space and complemented by a well-proportioned breakfast kitchen, ancillary rooms and three first floor bedrooms – two of which are doubles. The gardens provide an excellent amenity – either for the keen plantsman or for those simply seeking space to relax, entertain or play. To the side of the house, a long driveway approach provides ample parking as well as access to the property’s detached double garage with further store area to the rear.

Hetton is without question one of the most desirable of the southern Dales villages, occupying a beautiful location whilst enjoying excellent accessibility to the bustling market town of Skipton, some 5.5 miles to the south and forming a hub from where there are excellent commuter links with Harrogate and also Clitheroe and East Lancashire. The setting offers seemingly endless opportunities for breathtaking walks, cycling and other country pursuits.

Skipton provides excellent shopping, with ‘high street’ stores rubbing shoulders with a colourful array of independent shops. There are numerous dining, sporting and other social amenities, whilst from the town’s railway station there are regular services throughout the day into both Leeds and Bradford, with regular onward connections to London Kings Cross.

The large villages of Gargrave (4.5 miles), and Grassington (5 miles) are both just a few minutes’ drive away and enjoy a broad provision of facilities to satisfy everyday needs.
