East along the ridge from Lynnwood, where view stands and newer security complexes both look straight into the afternoon sun.
East of Lynnwood, along the ridge
Faerie Glen sits east of Lynnwood along the ridge toward Garsfontein, and the elevated position that makes the views worth having also means less tree cover than the older, more established streets closer to Lynnwood proper. Ridge-facing lounges and patios here catch sun for more of the day, with less of the dappled-shade relief that mature Lynnwood gardens provide — external shading and sunscreen fabrics do noticeably more work on this side of the belt.
Faerie Glen has also seen a real run of newer, security-estate-style complexes going up on the ridge in recent years. Those come with body-corporate aesthetic rules more often than the freestanding streets do, so we factor that into the spec from the first conversation — colours, mount type and any visible exterior hardware checked against what the scheme actually allows before it's ordered.
Recommended for Faerie Glen homes
Sunscreen fabric for a ridge-facing lounge that gets more open sun than a tree-shaded Lynnwood street.
Stop the heat before it reaches the glass on an exposed, view-facing elevation.
Extra insulation for bedrooms that get more direct sun on the ridge than the older, tree-covered streets.
