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

This week's fixer-uppers feature houses that just need a bit of an update and a tidy-up, as well as a pair of properties are are downright derelict.

You'll need time and money to do them up, but the rewards could be substantial...

25 Ballyfermot Avenue, Ballyfermot
€255,000
2-bed terraced house

Right in the heart of Ballyfermot, this mid-terrace has been extended to the rear, meaning the ground floor offers two reception rooms and a bright and airy kitchen with rear garden access.

The bedrooms are upstairs, along with a family bathroom. There is also off-street parking at the front of the house.

69 The Grove, Hunter's Run, Clonee
€360,000
3-bed semi-detached house

This modern semi-detached house has a lovely flow to it. The entrance hall leads to the living room and dining room - connected by French doors - and then there is direct access to the back garden via a patio door.

Upstairs are three bedrooms - the master is en suite - and a family bathroom. The property is located in the Hunter's Run area of Clonee, a residential area close to the Navan Road.

Lucano, 4 Main Street, Castleknock
€350,000
3-bed semi-detached house

The attractive red-brick exterior of this Victorian-era house conceals a derelict interior, albeit with some interesting features that may be worth salvaging.

This means the house looks like a fantastic proposition for someone in search of a property to renovate from scratch. The location is superb, right in the heart of Castleknock village, in close proximity to the Phoenix Park, M50 and Navan Road.

26 Ballymun Road, Glasnevin
€695,000
6-bed semi-detached house

This large semi-detached house is currently divided into two flats, but the potential is there to return it to its former glory as a magnificent single residence.

The property has gardens at the front and rear, and it is located in a highly desirable area, within walking distance of Botanic Gardens, Albert College Park and local sports clubs like Tolka Rovers FC and CLG Na Fianna.

383 North Circular Road, Phibsborough
€400,000
4-bed end-of-terrace house

Another derelict property in a fantastic location, this spacious end-terrace is sure to attract a lot of interest. The ground floor of this house boasts 10-foot high ceilings, which give a real feeling of space, while the basement level has two more rooms and two smaller areas.

A large back garden is a real bonus and may be suitable for extending the property to the rear. The house is right in the middle of Phibsborough village, next to the beautiful Blessington Basin and a 20-minute walk to O'Connell Street.
