More of a trading-down, or trading-in, option is the mid-terraced Summercove house called Quebec, with the Bulman bar and restaurant on its doorstep, as is the pier at Summercove, plus a shingle beach at low tide.

VIEWS from just about every room, and direct access to the sea are two of the strong selling points of Duneen, a Summercove Kinsale home new on the market in a super-chic setting.
