Dublin Fixer-Uppers: 5 of the best property projects to get stuck into

This week's selection of 'fixer-uppers' includes a spacious end-terrace in Clondalkin, a stylish Swords property and a cottage right at the heart of the action in Drumcondra.

19 Dunsink Drive, Finglas
€189,950
3-bed terraced house

A full refurbishment will be required in this mid-terrace house in south Finglas. It's a spacious property with three bedrooms available, in addition to an entrance hall, living/dining room, kitchen, bathroom and separate WC.

The house offers outside space at the front in the form of off-street parking and a garden. There's also a private garden at the back, and the house is well located for Clearwater shopping centre, Finglas village and Tolka Valley Park.

25 St. Mark's Crescent, Clondalkin
€239,000
4-bed terraced house

There's huge potential in this family-sized end-terrace in Clondalkin - and huge value. At just under €240k, 25 St. Mark's Crescent looks like a real bargain.

Already in pretty good condition, the house consists of a large living room, spacious kitchen/diner with patio door to the garden, WC, bathroom and four bedrooms. There's ample room at the side and rear too, which could put an extension onto the agenda.

6 Innisfallen Parade, North Circular Road, Drumcondra
€285,000
2-bed terraced house

This little cottage has previously been extended, so although a cosmetic upgrade is essential, there's a reasonable amount of floor space here for the type of property - 533 sq ft.

In the end though, it's the location that will attract buyers. Seconds away from Drumcondra station and the Royal Canal, this house puts you right at the heart of the action on the northside, and you can walk into town in 20 minutes.

58 Glenshesk Road, Whitehall
€325,000
2-bed terraced house

This mid-terrace property has plenty going for it, not least a great location in the well-developed northside suburb of Whitehall, close to lots of local amenities and the Swords Road, which offers easy access to the city centre and M1/M50.

The house has been extended with a sun room to the rear, and there's also a paved back garden and off-street parking at the front. In addition, you get a small hallway, living room, kitchen, WC and main bathroom.

5 River Lane, Saint Colmcille's Court, Swords
€290,000
2-bed terraced house

Finally, we head to north county Dublin to look at an end-of-terrace property in Swords. The house is in good condition - perfectly liveable as-is but a new buyer may want to give it a higher-spec makeover.

The entrance hall brings you into a bright, welcoming lounge complete with fireplace, with the kitchen just off to the side. The bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs, and the house is in an amazing location right in the centre of the town.
