Buying a new house but not hung up on the decor? Then maybe a fixer-upper is what you are after. They are generally cheaper than homrd in turnkey condition, and they give you the opportunity to really make it your own from the very beginning.
Here's our latest selection:
237 Cappagh Road, Finglas West
€210,000
3-bed terraced house
The first thing to notice here is the ample outside space - scope for a side extension, perhaps? Or maybe extending out the back would be preferable - either way, the potential is obvious.
AT 80 square metres of floor space the house itself is a lot less spacious, but it comprises an entrance hallway, lounge, kitchen with dining area, second reception room, two double bedrooms, one single bedroom and the main family bathroom. Finglas village, Charlestown Shopping Centre and the M50 are all nearby.

6 Claddagh Green, Ballyfermot
€250,000
3-bed terraced house
This mid-terrace is in prime position in the heart of Ballyfermot, not far from all the shops and amenities on Ballyfermot Road, and walking distance from two parks.
There are front and rear gardens - the back garden especially is a good size, while inside you will find an entrance hall, living room, kitchen/diner, utility room, downstairs WC and three bedrooms.

15 Moyle Crescent, Clondalkin
€365,000
3-bed semi-detached house
This west Dublin semi is the perfect family home, with its spacious interior, generous back garden, off-street parking and location in a quiet cul-de-sac close to Clondalkin village.
There are two reception rooms with French doors in between, dining room, kitchen, garage, three bedrooms and bathroom. The house is in need of refurbishment but it's also in more than good enough condition that any buyer would be able to move in immediately and update it in their own time.

17 Craigford Drive, Killester
€375,000
3-bed terraced house
Killester is a great location on the northside, with its old village, DART station and proximity to Saint ANne's Park and the seafront at Clojntarf and Dollymount.
This attractive mid-terrace offers an entrance hallway, two reception rooms and the kitchen downstairs, with three bedrooms and the bathroom upstairs. There's also a pleasant front garden and another at the back, with room for a kitchen extension.

163 Beaumont Road, Beaumont
€425,000
4-bed terraced house
This is an unusually laid-out house with the potential to extend - either by reclaiming the outdoor porch at the front of the house, or extending into the back garden.
Currently there's a hallway, living room, kitchen/diner and WC downstairs, with four bedrooms and the main bathroom upstairs. The location is good too, in a quiet residential area opposite Beaumont Hospital, just down the road from Artane Castle shopping centre.
