5 Baylis Place is a detached house situated on a 619 m² block of land. The property offers ample yard space typical of homes in the Belconnen district.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where houses were intended to face common parkland and garages were positioned at the rear. Although fences have altered the visual connection, the layout still includes a network of pedestrian pathways designed to avoid crossing streets directly.
The Charnwood centre shopping area nearby offers fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station, and a Labor Club. An emergency services station with ambulance, fire, and rescue facilities is also located close to the shops at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
Boslem And Harte Park is only about 0.4 km away, providing open green space for leisure. George Simpson Park (≈1.4 km) and Goodwin Hill (≈1.1 km) are also nearby, and the Charnwood District Playing Fields host the Ginninderra “The Tigers” athletics club during track season.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these volcanic rocks, with Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz andesite found on the opposite side of the fault.
From 2004 to 2018, Charnwood held an annual ‘Charny Carny’ carnival that raised funds for local schools and the Mount Rogers Scout Group. The event was discontinued in 2020 due to a shortage of volunteers.
For federal elections, Charnwood is part of the Division of Fenner. In the ACT Legislative Assembly, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
