Physical Description

'Ingersley* is set in a lawned setting well back from the street alignment.
The building is constructed of stone with brick quoins to openings. The roof is a dominant feature of the building and has vented gablets, gable finial and a tall corbelled brick chimney. The roof extends to cover an encircling concrete verandah which is supported on square timber posts. The main feature of the exterior of the building is a flattened brick arch in a concrete base that stands alone in front of the entry of the front elevation. The arch bears the name of the building.

The interior of the building comprises four rooms, two either side of a central passage. A living space and bedroom occupy the two front rooms with two bedrooms behind. The interior has pressed metal ceilings and one ceiling rose remains.

A stone extension has been added to the west elevation to accommodate bathroom facilities, and a timber framed, fibro-cement clad addition extends across the rear elevation accommodating a kitchen.

The exterior walls were rendered to window sill height by the Shire of Cuballing, possibly as an attempt to arrest rising damp.
