The house is tentatively dated to the 1740s, and was built by either John Spearman or the Countess Dowager Strathmore, both of whom lived at Hetton Hall (HER 7706). The first recorded resident is the Hon. Thomas Lyon, born in 1741 (possibly at Hetton House itself), when the house was known as 'Mansion House'. Lyon and his wife, Elizabeth Wren, whom he married in 1774, and their eight children resided at the house. Thomas' son, John Lyon, founded the colliery at Hetton-le-Hole in 1810, and by 1839 the house was owned outright by the Hetton Coal Company (Archibald Cochrane and Partners).
Hetton House was maintained as the Rectory in this period and was the residence of the Rev. John Nichol and his family in the 1830s. By 1851, Rev. Nichol also ran a school for boys from the property but how long this continued is unknown. Following Nichol's death in 1877, he was succeeded by the Rev. Thomas Rudd and his family who resided at Hetton House until they moved to the new rectory in 1885. It is likely that following this period the formal gardens were removed as they were no longer part of the property in 1891 when the house became the residence and practice of an Irish doctor, James Adamson and his family. By 1914, Dr Adamson expanded his practice by taking on a partner and the house was listed as the premises of Adamson and Watson. By 1934, Dr Allan Watson lived at the house with his family, and several outbuildings and elements of the former grounds were demolished, and new buildings were raised.
Hetton House was acquired by Hetton-le-Hole Unitary District Council during the 1950s and remained in the hands of local authorities until it was considered surplus to requirements by Sunderland City Council in the 2010s. The building was disused as of 2010. LISTED GRADE 2
