The station complex comprises a Type 1 station building and residence, erected in 1863. The original single brick-faced platform is now on the Sydney-bound track. A brick WC block, also erected in 1863, was removed pre-2000.[6]
Menangle station group is one of the earliest station complexes to survive in the state. It is a combination station building and residence which has had substantial additions. Although the second platform and building have been demolished for a new platform the remaining up buildings and platform are of very high significance in the development of railway buildings. Significant features of this building are its lack of awning to the platform, the unusual planning of the building with detached wings, room for porters, no waiting room and the asymmetrical elevations. The remaining structures are of national significance in conjunction with the railway underbridge listed separately.[6]
