The property sits on 511 m² of land and is classified as a house.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, which intended houses to face common parkland while streets served the rear of the houses; many owners later added fences, resulting in narrow walkways with limited lighting and neighbourhood surveillance.
The nearby Charnwood centre shopping area includes several fast‑food outlets, a branch of the Labor Club, a Shell service station and a Woolworths supermarket.
Yes, an emergency services station housing ambulance, fire and rescue services opened in October 2013 and is located near the Charnwood shops at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive, adjoining Ginninderra Drive.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields serve as the home ground for the Ginninderra “The Tigers” athletics club during the track season (October – March).
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, primarily Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite, with the Deakin Fault along its north‑east edge and areas of Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite on the other side.
For Australian federal elections Charnwood is in the Division of Fenner, and for ACT Legislative Assembly elections it is part of the Ginninderra electorate.
