In its Grade II listing, the property is described as a 16th Century farmhouse. The house has substantial stone elevations made from a distinctive type of local limestone. These are complemented by timber framing, pargetted rendering and a steep pitched pantiled roof. Beyond the house, there is a substantial walled frontage and a range of outbuildings which are suitable for annexe conversion.

The principal accommodation on the ground floor provides an entrance lobby, reception hall, sitting room with inglenook fireplace, family room, separate dining room with French windows to a conservatory, kitchen, cloakroom/utility and boiler room. The first floor provides a long landing with exposed timber frame and Yorkshire sliding windows in the rear elevation. There are four very large double sized bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The outbuildings substantially built with brick elevations under a pantiled roof provide former stalled stables and a 32 ft length garage. The property stands on elevated ground with the garden. There is a two bay field shelter, potting shed and greenhouse.

Formerly separate parishes North and South Collingham have long since united and formed one long leafy village. The property is situated in South Collingham adjacent to St John The Baptist Church with a tall tower dominating the village. This particularly attractive corner of the village has a number of hansom and interesting houses and indeed The Nunnery is a stunning property on approach.
