8 Laman Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
It is a house situated on a 535 m² block.
Charnwood was laid out using the Radburn principle, intending homes to face shared parkland with rear garages accessed by service streets. In practice, many owners fenced off the park side, creating narrow, poorly lit walkways and limited neighbourhood sight‑lines.
The Charnwood centre shopping area, just a short distance away, includes a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station, several fast‑food outlets and a Labor Club branch.
Boslem and Harte Park is approximately 0.2 km away, and George Simpson Park is about 0.9 km from the house, providing nearby green space for recreation.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields host the Ginninderra “The Tigers” athletics club during the track season from October to March.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite, with the Deakin Fault forming a boundary where Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite appear on the opposite side.
Federally, Charnwood is part of the Division of Fenner; for ACT Legislative Assembly elections it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
From 2004 to 2018 Charnwood hosted the annual “Charny Carny” carnival, which raised funds for community groups such as the Mount Rogers Scout Group and helped build community spirit.
