OS 6" map (1912)
The present house is a plain two-storey mansion, to which an addition was made about 1820 (Name Book 1859).
It was a fortified house, 'dating in some part from the defensive period' but so altered as to be now virtually unrecognisable.
N Tranter 1965
Carnwath House, now the club-house of the Carnwath Golf Club, is mainly an early-19th century building but, where the harling has come away on the SE wing, rubble masonry and 16/17th century blocked windows and mouldings can be seen. These seem to be in situ but the extent of this earlier building cannot be determined.
Visited by OS (EGC) 9 January 1968
The house was demolished in 1970 and a new club-house built.
