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

These fixer-uppers may offer a good value alternative for house-buyers looking to get on the property ladder or trade up. This week, we've found properties in Dublin 7, North Strand, Kilnamanagh, Crumlin and Drumcondra.

5 Drumalee Grove, North Circular Road, Dublin 7
€280,000
3-bed terraced house

That's an enticingly low price for a three-bed property in this location beside Hanlon's Corner. The property is within walking distance of Stoneybatter, Phibsborough and Cabra villages, as well as the Phoenix Park. The city centre is also within easy access by foot, bike or bus.

An entrance hallway leads to a spacious living room and kitchen/diner downstairs, with a patio door offering access to a garden/backyard behind the property. Upstairs are three bedrooms - two double, one single, all with built-in wardrobes - and a family bathroom.

13 Gaelic Street, North Strand
€300,000
2-bed terraced house

North Strand is an up-and-coming area on the inner city northside, with a clutch of trendy new cafés, eateries and a great pub in Cusack's. Gaelic Street is a quiet cul-de-sac just off Ossory Road, right next to the Royal Canal.

The house is an attractive mid-terrace which is billed as an ideal starter home. Downstairs there's a good-sized living room with plenty of built-in storage and parquet-style flooring, as well as the kitchen, large bathroom and small utility. The bedrooms are both upstairs and there's a small back yard.

21 Elmcastle Court, Kilnamanagh
€349,000
3-bed semi-detached house

This is a spacious family semi that is ripe for a full refurbishment. The house benefits from good outside space at the front, side and rear, which may mean an extension is an option.

Inside, the ground floor benefits from a large living room and kitchen/diner, with French doors in between. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is located close to lots of local amenities, Tymon Park and the M50.

61 Drimnagh Road, Crumlin
€425,000
3-bed end-of-terrace house

This handsome house is located on the Drimnagh Road, making it highly convenient for getting into town or out to the M50, or indeed for anyone working at Crumlin Children's Hospital.

There's plenty on offer here - well-tended gardens at the front and rear as well as plenty of accommodation. The front and rear reception rooms are connected by French doors, which when open turn it onto a large, double-aspect space. New owners may wish to reconfigure by enlarging the kitchen or even extending to the rear.

8 Clonturk Gardens, Drumcondra
€525,000
3-bed semi-detached house

Properties in Drumcondra are always in demand and this three-bed semi will be no different. It's looking somewhat unloved at the minute but with its period charm and some TLC it could become a stunning family home.

There are two reception rooms and a kitchen downstairs, as well as a bathroom, separate WC and utility. Upstairs are the bedrooms and the main bathroom, and there's a great deal of outside space. Drumcondra National School is just a few steps away.
