20 Hancock Street, Spence ACT 2615, Australia
The address is a standalone house situated on a sizable block of land measuring 834 m².
The property is in the suburb of Spence, which was gazetted on 2 November 1972 and originally named after union founder William Spence. In 2023 the suburb was co‑named to also honour suffragette Catherine Helen Spence.
Close to the house is a local shopping centre offering a butcher, baker, chemist, supermarket with a coffee shop and a petrol station. The area also features the community‑run "Coffee Corner" café, a Tongan Community Centre, and a neighbourhood oval near Clarey Crescent.
A CSIRO property, specifically the Ginninderra CSIRO weather station, lies roughly 1.7 km away from the home.
For Australian federal elections the address falls within the Division of Fenner, while for ACT Legislative Assembly elections it is part of the Ginninderra electorate.
The area is underlain by Silurian‑age Hawkins Volcanics, including green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite in the centre and west, a green‑grey dacitic porphyry intrusive rock with white feldspar crystals to the southeast, and a shale lens patch of Hawkins Volcanics in the south‑central part.
