Duncarrig is a fine restored period property set in a spectacular elevated position above the sea with wonderful southwesterly aspects over Kinsale Harbour. Set in the charming village of Summercove, the house occupies undoubtedly one of the finest waterside settings in this much sought after location.
The house, built in a Victorian Gothic style, is believed to have been built in 905 on the site of a much older building. The original building was possibly occupied by the officers of the garrison and dated from the construction of the nearby Charles Fort in the 7th Century. Some remnants still form the protective walled gardens of the property.
Duncarrig has been fully restored in recent years to an exacting standard using conservation materials, resulting in an authentic period residence, with a beautiful and luxuriously comfortable interior full of light, where all rooms enjoy the stunning sea and harbour views. The house is both easily managed and well-proportioned, serving as a magnificent waterside retreat or exclusive holiday hideaway. The accommodation extends to some 250 sq metres (2750 sq ft) arranged over three floors and includes two reception rooms, conservatory, large kitchen & breakfast room with feature gallery studio over, together with four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The property benefits from underfloor heating to the ground floor together with new double glazed hardwood sash windows. Oak herringbone parquet floors edged with a mahogany inlay are laid throughout the ground floor together with 'dental' style cornicing, deep skirting, panelling and architraves. A central vacuuming system and an on-demand pressurised water system have also been installed. Duncarrig has been carefully extended to provide a delightful conservatory together with the creation of a charming garden with flagged sun terraces and a lower deck with boat jetty / swimming platform reached by steps directly from the garden. At low tide there is direct access to a secluded shingle cove.
