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

We have quite the variety of 'fixer-uppers' this week, each waiting for a new buyer to come along and show it a bit of TLC.

From a Kilmainham terrace to a dilapidated cottage on more than an acre of land, the choice is yours...

82 Cleggan Avenue, Ballyfermot
€235,000
3-bed terraced house

A full renovation is the order of the day in this mid-terrace close to the centre of Ballyfermot and local parks.

The ground floor has an appealing, open-plan feel with a good-sized kitchen off the living room - the bathroom is just next door and there's also a separate front lounge.

The three bedrooms are upstairs, while out the back there's a great garden with plenty of space for children to safely play in.

Cottage At Beldaragh, Naul
€275,000
3-bed bungalow

This is a big project for any buyer, but one with masses of potential. The country cottage is located in open countryside near Naul - only a couple of minutes' drive from the M1 at junction 5, with Balbriggan and Skerries also nearby.

The house sits on 1.25 acres of land with beautiful views all around. It will need to be stripped back but it represents an opportunity for the new owners to create their dream home, almost from scratch.

The accommodation isn't huge, but extending the property may be a solution, subject to planning.

31 Wyteleaf Grove, Donaghmede
€345,000
3-bed semi-detached house

Set in a quiet cul-de-sac next to Donahies Field, this 3-bed semi looks like an ideal home for a young family.

The house does require updating to give it a more modern feel, but aside from cosmetics it has plenty to offer. A generous entrance hall leas to the spacious living room at the front, while the large kitchen/diner in the heart of the home.

The bedrooms and family bathroom are upstairs, while outside there are well-maintained gardens at the front and back.

5 Lorne Terrace, Brookfield Street, Kilmainham
€400,000
2-bed terraced house

Kilmainham is an area in high demand, with its attractive streets, cool cafés and restaurants and proximity to the Phoenix Park, the, rest of Dublin 8 and the city centre.

This red-brick terrace is picture-perfect from the outside but needs work inside - albeit with some very appealing period features like the fireplaces.

Downstairs there are two reception rooms and the kitchen; there's a large-ish bathroom on the way upstairs and two double bedrooms on the first floor. An L-shaped back yard completes the property.

21 St Mary's Drive, Walkinstown
€425,000
3-bed terraced house

This attractive mid-terrace is conveniently placed just off the Drimnagh Road, providing excellent access into the city centre or out to the M50.

The front room is a real selling point with its bay window offering plenty of natural light. There's also an extended dining room and the kitchen on the ground floor.

Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms - two double, one single - and the bathroom. Finally, the spacious attic is suitable for conversion, which may allow you to add a fourth bedroom.
