8 Macqueen Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
The property sits on a 602 m² block of land.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where homes faced common parkland and garages were located at the rear. Over time, many owners built fences on the park side, creating narrow fenced walkways with limited lighting and surveillance.
The Charnwood centre shopping area nearby includes a Woolworths, a Shell service station, fast‑food outlets and a Labor Club. An emergency services station with ambulance, fire and rescue is also located at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
Boslem and Harte Park is about 0.3 km away, and George Simpson Park is roughly 1.3 km from the house, both offering green space and recreation.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields host the Ginninderra "The Tigers" athletics club during the track season (October – March), providing local opportunities for running and field events.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, mainly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge, and to the north‑east of the fault are Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite.
For federal elections, Charnwood is in the Division of Fenner, and for ACT Legislative Assembly elections it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
