1 Arkell Place is a standalone house situated in the suburb of Charnwood.
The property sits on a land area of 853 m², providing ample space around the residence.
The Charnwood centre shopping area, which includes fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths, a Shell service station and a Labor Club, is located within the suburb. An emergency services station (ambulance, fire and rescue) sits near the shopping centre at the corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive. Nearby parks such as Boslem and Harte Park are about 0.8 km away, and Goodwin Hill is roughly 1.5 km distant.
Charnwood was originally planned using the Radburn principle, where houses faced common parkland and garages were positioned at the rear. In practice, many residents fenced the park side, resulting in narrow walkways and limited visual surveillance.
From 2004 to 2018 the suburb hosted the annual 'Charny Carny' carnival, raising funds for local community groups and the Mount Rogers Scout Group. The event was discontinued in 2020 due to a shortage of volunteers.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields are nearby and serve as the home ground for the Ginninderra "The Tigers" athletics club during the track season (October – March).
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.
