11 Waterfield Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
The house sits on a 743 m² allotment. This provides a generous garden and open space around the residence.
It is a stand‑alone house. The property is part of the residential fabric of Charnwood.
Charnwood’s estate was planned using the Radburn principle, where homes were meant to face shared parkland and garages were placed at the rear. In practice, many owners built fences around the park side, creating narrow walkways with limited lighting.
The Charnwood centre shopping area is nearby and includes Woolworths, a Shell Service Station, several fast‑food outlets and a Labor Club branch. An emergency services station with ambulance, fire and rescue units is also situated at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
The Boslem and Harte Park and George Simpson Park are each about 0.6‑1.6 km away, offering green space and playgrounds. The Charnwood District Playing Fields, home to the Ginninderra “The Tigers” athletics club, and the nearby Goodwin Hill provide additional sporting opportunities.
From 2004 to 2018 Charnwood hosted the annual ‘Charny Carny’ carnival, which raised funds for local schools and the Mount Rogers Scout Group. The event ceased in 2020 due to a shortage of volunteers.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these rocks, and nearby Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite are also present.
