The fire broke out in the property in Harley Road, Condover, at about 1.30pm.

Crews from Church Stretton, Shrewsbury and Telford went to the scene, where they spent two hours bringing the fire in the bungalow's roof space under control.

Shropshire Fire and Rescue Services said firefighters wore breathing apparatus and used jets to extinguish the fire.

They then used the aerial ladder to check for fire spread and carry out salvage operations inside the property.
