1 Barnes Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
It is a standalone house situated on a sizable block. The property includes a land area of 753 m².
The lot measures approximately 753 square metres, providing ample garden or outdoor space. This size offers flexibility for landscaping or extensions.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where homes were intended to face shared parkland and streets were placed behind garages. In practice, many owners added fences, creating narrow walkways and limited sightlines.
The Charnwood centre shopping area offers a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station, several fast‑food outlets and a Labor Club. These facilities are centrally located, providing convenient everyday services.
An emergency services station housing ambulance, fire and rescue units is positioned at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive, adjacent to the Charnwood shops. This provides rapid response coverage for residents.
Boslem and Harte Park lies about 0.9 km away, while George Simpson Park is roughly 1.4 km from the property. Both parks offer open green space for recreation within a short walk.
The suburb sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite, with the Deakin Fault marking a transition to Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite in the north‑east. These formations contribute to the local landscape’s character.
From 2004 to 2018 the annual “Charny Carny” carnival was held, raising funds for community groups including the Mount Rogers Scout Group. The event ceased in 2020 because of a shortage of volunteers.
