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

These 'fixer-uppers' may be a bargain compared to buying a turnkey apartment with a magazine-ready interior, or a new build.

Find your future dream home in Ballyfermot, Drimnagh, East Wall, Whitehall or Dublin 2...

58 Clifden Road, Ballyfermot
€240,000
3-bed terraced house

This is a very well-located mid-terrace, next to Le Fanu Park and walking distance from the leisure centre and shops.

Inside, you'll find an entrance hallway, lounge, kitchen, bathroom with separate WC and three bedrooms, but the house's main selling points are arguably outside: sizeable gardens at the front and especially at the back of the house.

128 Mangerton Road, Drimnagh
€290,000
3-bed terraced house

A handsome-looking house from the outside - inside, though it's another matter. For many potential buyers this will be an advantage as it means they can strip it right back and start all over again to their precise specifications and tastes.

Out the back, a 17m long back garden should offer plenty of space for entertaining or for kids to play in, while the house is a short distance from shops, amenities and bus routes on the Drimnagh Road.

22 Crescent Gardens, East Wall
€299,950
3-bed terraced house

A striking property in an up-and-coming area, with plenty of potential for refurbishment. The two reception rooms downstairs could potentially be opened up to create a much larger living area, or a new configuration could be made to create a bigger kitchen.

The well laid-out back garden also looks to be a major plus point, while the property is in a really convenient location, close to the city centre, IFSC and Docklands. Fairview Park is also nearby.

143 Celtic Park Avenue, Whitehall
€375,000
3-bed terraced house

Further out on the northside, this Whitehall property is also a three-bed terrace but much larger than those closer to the city centre. Downstairs there's a nice entrance hallway, an open-plan living/dining area and a good-sized kitchen.

Upstairs there are two decent-sized bedrooms and a box room, as well as the bathroom. The manicured front garden is very pleasant, while out the back there's a separate garage with access from the laneway.

69 Powerscourt, Dublin 2
€495,000
3-bed terraced house

This is a traditional Dublin terrace in an extraordinary location. There's plenty of work to be done inside, but look at where it is - a stone's throw from the Grand Canal in Dublin 2, just off Mount Street with Merrion Square and the city centre a short walk away.

The house has been extended slightly with a lean-to structure at the back. The rear courtyard also offers an orange tree and flowerbeds, while there's a garage with laneway access.
