This week's selection of fixer-uppers features an utterly unique little property in Clontarf - as well as some rather more understated houses in Clondalkin, Clonsilla, Coolock and Drumcondra...
14 St John's Avenue, Clondalkin
€295,000
3-bed semi-detached house
This comfortable three-bed semi is located in a leafy estate next to Corkagh Park, while the busy Clondalkin village is just a 10-minute walk in the opposite direction.
There's a shared front lawn and off-street parking at the front of the house and a sunny, south-facing garden (with a shed) at the back.
Inside, the living room and dining room are separated by sliding doors and coulc easily be converted into a single, double-aspect room. There's also a decent-sized galley-style kitchen downstairs, with the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs.

6 Meadow Way, Hartstown, Clonsilla
€335,000
3-bed bungalow
There's a little bit of tidying up and updating to be done in this Hartstown property - though not in the bathroom, oddly enough, which is brand new.
Bungalows are in high demand in Dublin and this one may fit the bill for those wishing to downsize from a larger, multi-storey house. It would suit a gardener, as there are pleasant gardens front and back, with plenty of scope to develop them further.

27 Moatfield Road, Coolock
€360,000
3-bed end-of-terrace house
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Coolock, you'll find this attractive end-terrace, complete with front and rear gardens and a garage. There are plenty of local amenities nearby, and it's not too far to the the M50/M1, or indeed the Saint Anne's Park and the seafront at Raheny.
The house offers an entrance hall, two reception rooms connected by French doors and kitchen/diner/downstairs, along with a utility room and WC behind the garage. Upstairs are the bedrooms and bathroom.

84 Clontarf Road, Clontarf
€425,000
1-bed detached house
It's not very often a place like this comes on the market. This unique one-bedroom house was once the gate lodge of the Vernon Estate, and it's in an amazing location, right on the promenade in prestigious Clontarf.
As for the property itself, it isn't in bad condition and with its high ceilings, period charm and secluded patio/garden, the potential is enormous. Mind you, at €425k for just 495 square feet of floor space, it isn't cheap...

117 Ferguson Road, Drumcondra
€450,000
3-bed terraced house
Ferguson Road is in a quiet, residential part of Drumcondra, and yet only a short walk to St Patrick's College and all the bars, restaurants and cafés in this bustling area. Griffith Park is just a stroll away too.
Number 117 is a handsome, sand-brick mid-terrace with a classic layout - hallway, two reception rooms and kitchen downstairs; three bedrooms and the bathroom upstairs. There are gardens too, at the front and rear.
