Dalserf House itself was demolished in 1963. It was located in the parish of Dalserf at NGR: NS 8015 5062, on a raised area above and east of the village of Dalserf. It sat at the centre of a small designed landscape, at the heart of a large working estate. The property overlooks Mauldslie Castle grounds on the other side of the River Clyde and there is low-lying agricultural pasture to the north; the estate is set in a bend in the river. Dalserf Lodge still stands, directly on the A72 Lanark Road at the entrance to the drive. The lodge, associated walling and gate piers are the only listed features within the property boundary. Cartographic, documentary and pictorial sources were used during the research phase.
