Hethersett was built in 1850-60 as one of a number of large houses below Reigate Hill. In the late 19th century it was owned by an architect, Robert C Baxter, until his death in 1894.

It is perhaps best known in its role from 1956 to 1992 as a college run by the RNIB training blind and partially sighted teenagers and young adults for employment. In 1992 the college moved to a new site off Redstone Hill in Redhill. Following its sale, a small development of luxury detached houses, called Hethersett Close, were built in the grounds. However, the original house, being listed, was retained.

Its elevated position on a small ridge means that it is very prominent, enabling this view taken from over 500m away.
