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

Our weekly round-up of the best under-the-radar Dublin properties takes us to four northside locations, plus Palmerstown in the west of the city.

11 Swan's Nest Avenue, Kilbarrack
€285,000
3-bed terraced house

This mid-terrace in north Dublin is perfectly placed, just a short walk away from Kilbarrack and Howth Junction DART stations, and the bus routes on Kilbarrack Road.

The house will need a full refurbishment, though it is currently occupied so you even could move in straight away and do it up gradually. Off-street parking and a mature back garden are among the selling points here.

63 Kennelsfort Road Upper, Palmerstown
€350,000
3-bed terraced house

This house in west Dublin is in absolutely immaculate condition - and the same is true of the lovingly tended gardens at the front and rear of the property. This house will certainly appeal to green-fingered house-hunters.

The interior is dated but it's a well-kept, spacious house that just appears to requite a bit of cosmetic work to modernise it. The rooms are well proportioned, there's plenty of natural light, and there's also a garage with vehicular access at the back of the house.

47 Conquer Hill Road, Clontarf
€395,000
2-bed terraced house

Outside space is always a great selling point, and that is certainly the case here. While the house definitely requires some work to modernise and improve it, the front and rear gardens here are in great shape.

The back garden, especially, is a great size and there's a vehicle gate at the bottom - that could make it ideally suited to a rear extension, which could transform the entire house.

58 Crestfield Drive, Whitehall
€425,000
3-bed semi-detached house

If it's a low-effort fixer-upper you're after, this could be the one - no garden to tend at the front or back but it does have outside space for parking and entertaining.

Inside, a bit of painting and decorating seems to be all that is required to give this house a refresh and a new lease of life. There's plenty of space too - a large converted attic which could function as a fourth bedroom, a study or a den, and a large workshop/storage shed in the back garden.

16 Glasnevin Drive, Glasnevin
€545,000
3-bed semi-detached house

This house in the sought-after Glasnevin area is instantly appealing with its bay windows and red-brick exterior. Inside, there's more than enough space for a growing family, with two reception rooms, a large garage and three bedrooms upstairs.

The beautiful, well-maintained back garden is another bonus, with plenty of mature trees offering privacy and pleasant surroundings in which to enjoy the outdoors.
