2 Barnes Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
The property sits on a 857 m² block. This provides ample space for garden, outdoor living and potential extensions.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where houses were intended to face common parkland with back‑facing garages. In practice many owners added fences, creating narrow walkways that are less directly connected to the central park areas.
The Charnwood Centre shopping area offers fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station and a Labor Club. An emergency services station with ambulance, fire and rescue facilities is situated at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
The Boslem and Harte Park is about 1 km away and George Simpson Park is roughly 1.3 km from the property, both providing green space and walking paths. The nearby Mount Rogers hill (≈1.5 km) also offers scenic views and recreation.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields host the Ginninderra "The Tigers" athletics club during the track season (October – March). These fields are convenient for community sports and fitness activities.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, primarily Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge, with Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite found on the opposite side of the fault.
For federal elections, Charnwood is in the Division of Fenner. In ACT Legislative Assembly elections it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
