An ambulance was called to the scene, but this is understood to have been as a precaution.

Merseyside Police did not have a presence at the site, which was cordoned off by fire crews.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service has contacted Scottish Power with a request to isolate the gas supply to the property.
