The exact nature and cause of the fire are not yet known. The Argus has contacted West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service for further details.
Images from the scene appear to show the worse damage in the upper storey of the property, with damage visible to the roof, and an upper window completely burnt out.
Multiple fire engines attended the incident. It appears that fire services were able to stop the fire from spreading to neighbouring properties, with damage seemingly confined to the original home.
