This week's selection of fixer-uppers for the adventurous house buyer includes a charming red-brick terrace in an up-and-coming area, a spacious suburban semi and a fantastic investment opportunity...
44 Sarsfield Park, Lucan
€295,000
3-bed terraced house
Location is key here - Sarsfield Park is located in the centre of Lucan, just steps away from the pretty village's shops, pubs and restaurants.
As a three-bed terrace the first floor accommodation seems fine, but downstairs a new owner may decide that three reception rooms and a separate hallway aren't making sufficient use of the space.
The possibilities are endless, therefore, for revamping this property as well as just redecorating it, and truly making it your own.

25 Northbrook Avenue Upper, North Strand
€299,950
3-bed townhouse
A three-bed terrace in one of Dublin's most up-and-coming areas - ripe for a full refurbishment which could turn the property into an ideal city home, full of character.
Downstairs there's an entrance hallway, two reception rooms - each with a fireplace - and the kitchen leading to a pleasant rear garden.
There's also rear access for pedestrians and a small car, and a garage. Three bedrooms and the bathroom are upstairs.

6 Castle Park, Clondalkin
€385,000
3-bed semi-detached house
Space is far from an issue at this fine family home in west Dublin. 6 Castle Park is well located in the heart of Clondalkin village, with all the local amenities you need close at hand.
While in need of refurbishment, all of the rooms in the house are very generously proportioned - even the entrance hallway looks impressively spacious.
Meanwhile outside there's a huge back garden and a smaller one at the front, with off-street parking.

36 Hillcrest Park, Glasnevin
€389,950
3-bed semi-detached house
Located off Glasnevin Avenue, 36 Hillcrest Park is in a great location and close to local amenities like Botanic Gardens, good schools and various sports clubs, as well as Finglas village for everyday essentials.
The house could do with some modernisation but it's also ready to move into straight away, which could appeal to certain buyers who would prefer to take their time over improvements.
The lovely mature back garden, accessible via the dining room's patio door, is sure to be a selling point - but perhaps a rear extension could also be an option to improve the house.

157 Whitehall Road West, Manor Estate, Terenure
€650,000
3-bed semi-detached house and site with planning permission
This is something of a unique opportunity. Not only is this family home in Perrystown in great shape to allow buyers to put their own stamp on it, it comes complete with an adjacent site with full planning permission to build a three-bed detached house.
The potential is clear - number 157 has bags of potential to make for an ideal family home, while the site should offer significant return on investment.
The property in a residential area in west Dublin with lots of parks and facilities close at hand, including Tymon Park and Bushy Park.
