11 Schaffer Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
11 Schaffer Place is a standalone house situated on a 511 m² block of land. The property offers the space typical of detached residences in the Charnwood suburb.
The land size is 511 m², providing ample outdoor area for gardening, recreation, or future extensions. This size is common for houses within the Charnwood estate.
Charnwood was originally planned using the Radburn principle, which intended houses to face shared parkland with garages accessed from rear streets. In practice, many owners fenced off the park side, resulting in narrow walkways and limited street‑level visibility.
The Charnwood centre shopping area is within walking distance and includes fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station and a Labor Club. An emergency services station housing ambulance, fire and rescue units is located near the shops at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
The Boslem And Harte Park is approximately 0.3 km away, offering green space and walking paths. George Simpson Park is also nearby, about 1 km from the property, providing additional recreational opportunities.
Flynn lies roughly 1.4 km to the south, Dunlop about 1.5 km to the east, and Fraser around 1.7 km away. These neighbouring suburbs are easily reachable by local roads.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, primarily the Deakin Volcanics composed of purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these volcanics, and Hawkins Volcanics of green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite are found on the opposite side of the fault.
For Australian federal elections, Charnwood is part of the Division of Fenner. In ACT Legislative Assembly elections, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
