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

This week's selection of fixer-uppers all have something in common - each one is a terraced house.

But, as they are all in different condition, different sizes, different states of repair and - crucially - in different areas, each one has its own special potential.

44 Cleggan Road, Ballyfermot
€265,000
3-bed end-of-terrace house

This end-terrace is unusual in that it benefits from a great deal of outside space. There's a large garden to the side of the house, and a long, narrow garden at the back - both features should make it highly desirable, especially at this price.

The double garage is another selling point, while the interior layout looks suitable for a wide range of buyers. Extending the house to the rear could be a possibility in order to maximise its potential.

23 Finglas Park, Finglas East
€299,000
3-bed terraced house

A very neat, well-kept house in an attractive row of terraces in Finglas, in close proximity to the village with all of its shops and amenities.

Not only is the house in good - if dated - condition, so is that lovely back garden which extends to a considerable distance behind the house.

35 Adare Avenue, Coolock
€320,000
4-bed terraced house

Over in Coolock, this mid-terrace is in a fantastic location, less than a minute's walk from the beautiful Stardust Memorial Park and similarly close to Northside Shopping Centre. Coolock village and Leisureplex are also nearby.

It's a solid mid-terrace with off-street parking, a decent-sized back garden and good accommodation comprising a lounge, kitchen, family bathroom and four bedrooms. The attic is also partially floored for convenience.

25 Shelmalier Road, East Wall
€370,000
2-bed end-of-terrace house

Located in the north inner city, this house has been extended to the rear, and offers a lot of space for the money - albeit only two bedrooms. The living room is a superb size and leads through to the kitchen and shower room.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The sizeable outside space at both the front and rear of this house add to its appeal.

64 Walsh Road, Drumcondra
€375,000
3-bed end-of-terrace house

If you're thinking that the price here looks low for Drumcondra, you'd be right - and there's a good reason for that. This property has been empty for some time and is in a very poor state of repair, so it's a big job. But someone has to do it!

If you're game enough to take it on, you get a great house on a corner plot in a fantastic area, with three bedrooms as well as front and rear gardens. A builder's dream, as the listing says.
