The building is connected to the convent chapel of Lancaster Cathedral by an L-shaped corridor. It pre-dates the cathedral, and was the earliest structure to be built on the cathedral complex. The convent is constructed in sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof. Its architectural style is Gothic Revival. The building has an L-shaped plan and is in two storeys. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
