Dublin Homes: 5 of the best 'fixer-upper' projects on the housing market

Once more, we take a look at Dublin's best fixer-uppers - definitely an option if you are looking for the best value you can possibly find on the property market.

The latest selection includes a Smithfield cottage, a couple of three-bed semis and two more mid-terraces.

54 Barry Park, Finglas
€235,000
3-bed terraced house

This mid-terrace is located in a mature estate, with a large green space right round the corner - great for kids. There's a range of shops and services on the estate, while Finglas village and Charlestown shopping centre are both close at hand.

The ground floor here has a spacious, open layout with a large living/dining room and adjoining kitchen. A utility room and bathroom are also available on this level, with the bedrooms upstairs.

Off-street parking and a back yard complete the package.

3 Stirrup Lane, Smithfield
€240,000
1-bed terraced house

Homes in Smithfield are highly prized, so at this price 3 Stirrup Lane will be in demand. Though it only has one bedroom, the house has been extended already, and so may be more spacious than you expect.

There are high ceilings throughout, a good-sized living room and kitchen, as well as the bathroom and even a utility area. There's also a small front garden and a yard to the rear.

The house is just off Church Street, walking distance from the city centre, Stoneybatter and Phibsborough.

25 Edenmore Crescent, Raheny
€299,950
3-bed terraced house

Lovely location here, right beside Edenmore Park and less than 10 minutes on foot to Raheny DART station and Raheny village. Saint Anne's Park, Dollymount and Bull Island are close at hand too.

This house looks ideal for a couple or young family. It comprises front and rear reception rooms, a fitted kitchen which opens out on to the west-facing back garden, three bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate WC.

There's a front garden too, and the potential to extend the house to the rear.

5 Woodvale Crescent, Clonsilla
€300,000
3-bed semi-detached house

Here's a classic three-bed semi near Hartstown Park in Clonsilla, with Blanchardstown Centre and village, the N3 and the M50 all easily accessible.

It's an ideal layout for a family - downstairs there's an entrance hall, living room and spacious kitchen/diner, which leads out to a generous back garden. Upstairs, you have three bedrooms (two doubles) and a family bathroom.

There's also a concrete garden shed, which is hooked up for electricity.

Bradda, 7 Lorcan Crescent, Santry
€400,000
3-bed semi-detached house

Located between Santry and Beaumont, this house looks like an ideal candidate for anyone in search of a 'blank canvas' project: rip it up and start again.

An extension looks like a good option here, as there is ample space to the side and into the back garden to really maximise the house's potential.

As it is, the house consists of a storm porch and entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a small bathroom.
