The conservation area is principally based around two roads which run east-west through the valley. Water Lane runs mainly along the valley base and Newton Way is situated further up the northern face. The northern boundary of the conservation area largely defines the line between the old and the new development in an east-west direction and includes properties forming the enclosure along Newton Way. The eastern edge is defined by the boundary of Woolsthorpe Manor, to the north of Water Lane, beyond which it extend sup the southern slope of the valley to include a small woodland and open field. The continuation of trees and hedges along the horizon defines the southern boundary and the western boundary, as far as the valley bottom, beyond which the limits follow the boundaries of existing properties. The conservation area covers a total of 6.26 hectares.
The conservation area is primarily residential.
There are 12 listed buildings in the conservation area. All are Grade II except for Chapel House (Grade II* - C12, with C18, C19 and C20 alterations) and Woolsthorpe Manor House (Grade I - birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton, early C17 with early C18 alterations and addition).
