2 Baylis Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
The house sits on a 756 m² block. This provides ample space for a garden or outdoor entertaining area.
Charnwood was designed using the Radburn principle, where homes were intended to face common parkland and garages were positioned at the rear. In practice, many owners built fences that screened the houses from the parkland, creating narrow walkways.
The Charnwood centre shopping area serves the neighbourhood and includes fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station and the local Labor Club. It is located within the suburb, just a short walk from the property.
An emergency services station housing ambulance, fire and rescue services opened in October 2013. It is situated near the Charnwood shops at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
Boslem and Harte Park is about 0.3 km away, offering open green space. George Simpson Park is also nearby, roughly 1.3 km from the house.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields host the Ginninderra "The Tigers" athletics club during the track season (October – March). The fields provide space for running, training and community sport events.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these rocks, with Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite present on the opposite side.
For federal elections, Charnwood is part of the seat of Fenner. In ACT Legislative Assembly elections, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
