A first impression of Abbotts Ann is that of a village of cottages built either of brick and flint with thatched roofs or white cob walls with slate roofs.

Whilst this is true of much of the old village, a closer look reveals a variety of architectural styles ranging from medieval through Queen Anne, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian to modern. This variety provides a pleasing and interesting mix of styles and shows how the village has evolved.

With sensitive design and siting, most of the more modern houses have blended into the old village and allowed Abbotts Ann to retain its picturesque character.
