Sole Street House - a venue for all seasons

  A house of mysteries and mellow beauty, Sole Street was a country gentleman's residence as early as Tudor times. Its first recorded owner in the 1500s was Peter Greenstreet, ancestor of film actor Sidney Greenstreet, best remembered for his appearance in the timeless romantic classic, Casablanca. In the late Georgian era, the owner Sir Thomas Hilton added another wing in a grander style. This created the suite of three rooms now dedicated for events and receptions: a light and airy drawing room, a large dining room, and a spacious ballroom, linked by wide and welcoming hallways.

Sole Street also offers 10 acres of informal gardens, with extensive lawns where guests may take advantage of the rustic tennis court, or bring their own games of croquet and bowls. Younger guests can enjoy hide and seek in the woodland, which boasts a unique tree house, built by craftsmen in the hollow of an ancient horse chestnut which still flowers every spring.

Three different areas of Sole Street House and grounds are licensed for weddings, civil partnerships, and baby naming ceremonies: the drawing room, the ballroom and the tree house. Today's owners, Rosalind Miles and Robin Cross, are pleased to cater for parties of up to 100 inside the house, and up to 250 if a marquee is hired. Disabled guests can be accommodated, and families with children enjoy full access to the gardens and woodland, where younger members of the party can run and play.

Sole Street is also available for parties, anniversaries, renewal of vows, memorial gatherings, business meetings and conferences, and film and tv locations.

One and all will be warmly welcomed by Rosalind and Robin and their experienced team, who make every effort to ensure that Sole Street House delivers its unforgettable magic for your special event.
