"The Knights of the Round Table!"

 The Castle was built in the 1840s by Elizabeth and Mary Oliver-Gascoigne, sisters who inherited vast wealth at a young age. Their monogrammed initials OG appear all over the building, both inside and out. In 1852 Elizabeth married and became Baroness Ashtown. She and her husband lived at Castle Oliver for much of the time. 

Artistic and musical, the sisters were actively involved in the design and decoration of the interiors. They made stained glass windows, many of them hand painted; one of which graces the wall of the grand staircase and back painted glass panels, one of which adorns the over mantel of the ballroom.  

 The Castle covers about an acre, and has well over a hundred rooms. There are twelve staircases, five of them stone spirals. 

Upstairs there are eleven bedrooms of which eight are ensuite. There is antique furniture and lighting throughout the castle and the luxurious suites all have 6ft. four-poster beds and period bath tubs. All the rooms have breathtaking views. 

The house can be taken with full staff if required
