From a Dublin 4 fixer-upper and a pretty Georgian cottage in Dublin 6 to new homes in Longford at reduced prices, they’re all on view this weekend

PRIMROSE COTTAGE at 6 Auburn Villas, Rathgar is a pretty Georgian detached house in need of updating, but with a good-sized garden. It’s new to the market with Sherry FitzGerald asking €890,000. The 157sq m (1,690sq ft) three-bedroom house has a long livingroom at the back with three floor-to-ceiling windows and a French door looking out over the back garden which has different patios to catch the sun throughout the day. Two of the bedrooms look out onto an internal courtyard.
