Comiston Farmhouse... Securing the Future

The legal transfer of the farmhouse property from the council to the developers has been completed.

150 years old, in fine condition, boarded up and peaceful...

The general consensus among residents was that the house should be retained, along with the 2 cedar and 3 lime trees (now protected by TPOs) with, if necessary, some appropriate and sensitive development approved as well.
