1 Best Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
1 Best Place is a standalone house set on a 696 m² block. The property provides ample garden space typical of Charnwood’s residential lots.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where homes were intended to face shared parkland and vehicular access was provided at the rear. Although the concept was not fully realised, the suburb retains a network of pedestrian pathways that link many points without crossing streets.
The Charnwood centre shopping area is within walking distance and includes a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station, several fast‑food outlets and a branch of the Labor Club. An emergency services station with ambulance, fire and rescue services is also situated near the centre.
The Boslem and Harte Park is only about 0.3 km away, offering open green space for walks and picnics. George Simpson Park lies roughly 0.8 km from the home, providing additional playground and recreational facilities.
From 2004 to 2018 Charnwood hosted the annual ‘Charny Carny’, a carnival that brought the neighbourhood together and raised funds for local community groups. The event was discontinued in 2020 due to a shortage of volunteers.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields are close by and serve as the home of the Ginninderra ‘The Tigers’ athletics club during the track season (October – March). The fields provide space for running, training and community sports events.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly the 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 appearing on the opposite side.
For Australian federal elections, Charnwood is part of the Division of Fenner. In ACT Legislative Assembly elections, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
