usepackage{showframe} % just to show the margins of the text block
begin{document}
begin{description}[leftmargin=4cm,labelwidth=dimexpr4cm-labelsep]
item[Description]
begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*]
item Item
item Another item
item Last item
end{enumerate}
end{description}

begin{document}
begin{description}[leftmargin=widthof{textbf{Description}} + labelsep , style = unboxed]item[Description]
