11 Barney Street is a detached house. It sits on a generous 725 m² block of land.
The residence occupies a 725 m² parcel, providing ample outdoor space for gardens, recreation, or future extensions. This size is typical for inner‑north Canberra homes.
The Swinden Street Metro station is about 0.3 km away, offering quick access to the city's rail network. In addition, the Dickson Interchange is roughly 0.7 km from the house.
Within a 0.6‑km radius you’ll find the Dickson Library and the Dickson Centre precinct, both convenient for shopping and services. The Quality Hotel Dickson and the National Hockey Centre are also within 0.8‑0.9 km.
Downer began as a CSIRO agricultural research site and later grew opium poppies during World War II. A bronze kangaroo sculpture, unveiled in 2019, now adorns the renovated local shopping centre.
The suburb rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑rich foundation gave Canberra its original name, “Limestone Plains.”
Downer has a local oval bordered by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets, providing a community green space. The Dickson District Playing Fields are also about 1.2 km away for sports and outdoor activities.
