Killruddery
Country house in Wicklow, Ireland, dating from 1810–1830
Detached multiple-bay part single part two part three and part four-storey Mansion, originally dating from the 17th century, but remodelled and extended in 1820 in Elizabethan style to designs by Sir Richard Morrison. Part of the front wing was demolished in the 1950s and the remainder of the wing was redesigned by Claud Phillimore. There are three principal fronts with pointed, crow-stepped and curvilinear gables. The entrance is set within a three-storey canted bay. Window openings are generally flat-headed and frames are a mixture of timber sash, timber casement and fixed lights. There are a number of half gabled dormers, oriel windows and mullioned and transomed windows. To the north is a range of offices which incorporate the 17th-century portion. To the south and west is a large domed conservatory. The house is set within a large landscaped demesne which include long paired canals to the south garden front.
