Blundeston is a quiet Suffolk village about four miles north-west of Lowestoft, familiar to many as the birthplace of David Copperfield in Dickens's novel — though today it's better known locally for the former HM Prison Blundeston, which closed in 2013. The housing stock is what you'd expect from a rural Suffolk village: a core of older flint and brick cottages around the church and green, surrounded by post-war and more recent estate development that expanded the village considerably. Older flint-built roofs here often need repointing and traditional lime mortar work, while the newer estates bring more standard concrete tile repairs. We cover Blundeston regularly and understand the mix of old and new that the village presents.

Blundeston is best known outside the area as the fictional birthplace of Charles Dickens's David Copperfield and as the site of HM Prison Blundeston, which closed in 2013 — the village remains a tightly knit rural community with good road links into Lowestoft.
