A spokesman for ESFRS said firefighters used six breathing apparatus and three hose reel jets to extinguish the fire on the ground floor of a three-storey building.

Firefighters are still on scene cutting away and dampening down, ESFRS added.

A video from the scene, shared on Twitter, showed firefighters tackling flames coming from the front of a residential property.

The A265 was closed and there was very slow traffic due to the fire, according to reports.

Traffic reports said vehicles were not able to pass between A21 London Road and Great Oak.
