It's reported the fire started on the ground floor of the home and spread to the first floor and loft.

Everyone in the house was said to have made it outside before fire crews arrived on scene.

One person was given oxygen but it's not known at this stage if they were taken to hospital.

Early this afternoon, three fire engines were still at the home as crews dampened down the scene and tackled any hot spots.

The cause of the fire has yet to be established.
