5 Yabsley Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
5 Yabsley Place is a standalone house. It sits within the Charnwood suburb of Canberra.
The property sits on a 567 m² block. This provides ample garden or outdoor space for the residence.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where houses face common parkland and streets service rear garages. In practice, many owners fenced off the park side, creating narrow walkways with limited lighting.
The Charnwood centre shopping area is nearby, offering a Woolworths, fast‑food outlets, a Shell service station and a Labor Club. It is within a short walk, roughly 0.4 km from the property.
The Boslem and Harte Park is about 0.6 km away, and George Simpson Park is roughly 1.5 km from the house. Both provide open green space for walking, picnics and leisure activities.
An emergency services station housing ambulance, fire and rescue units opened in 2013 near the Charnwood shops at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive. This facility is only a few minutes' drive from 5 Yabsley Place.
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 present on the opposite side.
