5 Yabsley Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
The property sits on a 567 m² block. It is a standalone house occupying this parcel of land.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where houses face common parkland and garages are located at the rear. In practice, many owners fenced off the park side, creating narrow walkways with limited lighting.
The Charnwood centre shopping area offers several fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station, and a Labor Club branch. An emergency services station with ambulance, fire and rescue units is also situated near the shops at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
The Boslem and Harte Park is approximately 0‑1 km away, and George Simpson Park is about 1‑2 km from the residence. Both provide green space for recreation and leisure.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields host the Ginninderra "The Tigers" athletics club during the track season (October – March). These fields are a short distance from the home, offering track and field opportunities.
From 2004 to 2018 Charnwood held the annual 'Charny Carny' carnival, supporting local schools and the Mount Rogers Scout Group. The event ceased in 2020 due to a shortage of volunteers.
For Australian federal elections, Charnwood is in the seat of Fenner. In ACT Legislative Assembly elections, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these rocks, and to the north‑east of the fault lies Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite.
