Munlochy Hall is of traditional solid stone and slate construction. It is built on a slope and the basement can be accessed at ground level behind the building. There are extensions to the building: behind (housing the Little Hall and the Ladies toilets), another toilet extension in the north‐east corner, and a kitchen at the SW end.

In 2001, the Hall underwent a major refurbishment. <1>
Marked as a Drill Hall on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map, suggesting that it was in use as such pre-war as well. <2>
