It's thought the fire began in a shed.
Several trees at the back of the property were damaged by the fire, sending smoke billowing up into the sky which was visible from a considerable distance away.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.
A spokesperson for Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service said: "We believe this is a shed on fire in someone's garden, and we have two appliances in attendance."
