It is a detached house situated on a 757 m² residential block. The property offers typical suburban living in the heart of Nicholls.
The home is approximately 2 km from the Gungahlin Town Centre and about 13 km from the centre of Canberra, providing easy access to both local shops and the capital’s amenities.
Within a kilometre you’ll find several parks, including Girrawah Park (≈0.8 km), Violets Park, Homestead Park and Gold Creek Park (each about 1 km away). The suburb also borders the Gungahlin Pond, a shallow water body in the east.
The Lakes Golf Course, a championship 18‑hole course, lies on the eastern side of Nicholls near the pond. Numerous walking and cycling tracks wind through the local parks and natural reserves.
Gold Creek Village, on the suburb’s southern boundary, offers attractions such as the National Dinosaur Museum, the Australian Reptile Centre, Cockington Green miniature park, and the George Harcourt Inn, all within short driving distance.
Nicholls was named after Sir Douglas Nicholls (1906–1988), a distinguished Aboriginal Australian who was a footballer, pastor, activist and Governor of South Australia from 1976 to 1977.
The suburb sits on a mix of Hawkins Volcanics (cream rhyolite) with patches of green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite, as well as porphyry intrusions and, toward the east, slatey shale, mudstone and Black Mountain Sandstone forming Percival Hill.
