[3] Between 1863 and 1866 the present house was built for the Conservative politician Sir George Gustavus Walker (1831–1897), and designed by the Edinburgh-based architects Peddie & Kinnear.

[1] Built in local red sandstone, Crawfordton House is an example of Scottish Baronial architecture, with crowstepped gables, towers, turrets and carvings.

The house was then run as Cademuir International School, which relocated from the Scottish Borders, but which ceased trading in 2006 due to financial difficulties.

It remained unoccupied until 2013 when it was purchased by Hong Kong architect Kenneth Ko, who is currently renovating the house as a family home.

[7] In December 2021, Crawfordton House is said to be in the hands of 'Master Designer' Mr Kenneth Ko.
