Killruddery House

Killruddery House (also spelled "Kilruddery") is a large country house on the southern outskirts of Bray in County Wicklow, Ireland, approximately 20 km (12 mi) south of Dublin. The present structure is a south-facing multi-bay mansion, originally dating from the 17th century, but remodelled and extended in 1820 in the Elizabethan style. It is constructed as variously single, two, three and four storeys in the shape of an irregular quadrangle enclosing a courtyard. To the north an office wing incorporates the 17th-century portion, and to the south and west is a large domed conservatory, the orangery, designed by William Burn in about the 1850s. The house sits within a large landscaped demesne which features a pair of 550-foot long parallel reflecting pools on the south lawn.
