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

Once again, we're on the hunt for a bargain, in the form of properties that just need a little bit of TLC in order to reach their full potential.

Our latest selection takes us to Glasnevin, Drumcondra, Kilmainham, Donnycarney and Tallaght.

35 Grove Park Road, Glasnevin
€425,000
3-bed semi-detached house

There are bags of potential with this family semi, which is off Glasnevin Avenue, near Finglas village.

Generous gardens at the front and back - including some mature greenery - should appeal to families and keen gardeners alike. There may also be enough space at the side and rear to warrant building an extension.

As it stands, the house consists of a storm porch, entrance hallway, living room, kitchen/diner, two double and one single bedroom, and a fully tiled bathroom with electric shower.

Check it out at Perfect Property.

1 College Mews, Clonliffe Road, Drumcondra
€395,000
3-bed terraced house

This is a relatively modern, spacious end-terrace that just needs a bit of an update in decor. It's a simple downstairs layout, with a small hall leading to the living room and a kitchen at the rear. Upstairs are all three bedroom and the bathroom.

The house is in a fantastic location, just off Clonliffe Avenue and within walking distance of Croke Park, Drumcondra station and all the local shops, bars, cafes and amenities.

The city centre is only 10 minutes away by bus or train.

36 Anner Road, Kilmainham
€365,000
3-bed terraced house

Located in the heart of D8, less than 10 minutes' walk from the Suir Road Luas stop, this looks like the perfect pad for anyone who wants to have Dublin on their doorstep.

IMMA, the Phoenix Park and the War Memorial Gardens are all nearby, with The Liberties and the city centre not too much further away.

The house has been extended and so is quite a catch too, with its extra-large living room, kitchen/diner, downstairs toilet and utility room downstairs, three bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, and a sizeable back garden.

Check it out at Perfect Property.

5 Donnycarney Road, Donnycarney
€350,000
2-bed terraced house

A substantial refurb is in order at this mid-terrace on the northside. Formerly a three-bed, it could potentially be returned to that layout, or you could enjoy the more spacious first floor as-is.

The house is well located, just off the Malahide Road which gives great access into town, while Clontarf Golf Club, Fairview Park and Saint Anne's Park are all within striking distance.

You have the DART at your service too - Killester station is 20 minutes' walk away, or five minutes on a bike.

22 Brookview Drive, Tallaght
€210,000
3-bed terraced house

This three-bed mid-terrace, which looks ideal for a first-time buyer, is in the Brookfield area of west Tallaght, not far from Cheeverstown Luas stop and Citywest.

As well as an entrance hallway, living room and kitchen/diner downstairs, there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs.

In addition, there's off-street parking at the front of the house and a good-sized, mature back garden to the rear.
