Three fire engines were dispatched to Moreton Say on Tuesday after the property caught fire.
The blaze saw two fire engines descend at around 12.30pm. Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said the blaze started in the living room of the property.
The fire was extinguished within an hour, SFRS said, using breathing apparatus and a hosereel jet.
However, following the blaze, local resident Emma Rogers took to Facebook to explain the couple, a single adult male, dog and two-year-old boy are now homeless and have been left "heartbroken" by the fire.
She said: "Unfortunately there has been a house fire in Moreton Say Parish Rural Watch this afternoon and the family have lost everything!
"If anybody can help with anything for them it would be much appreciated. They have no where to stay in the short term and have lost all there possessions and clothes.
"There are an adult couple. A single adult male and a two year old boy and two dogs. They are left with absolutely nothing. Clothes, nappies, shoes, children’s things . Dog things. Anything whatsoever would be my co appreciated for them.
"This is a tragedy for them and they are heartbroken."
