Firefighters from six stations have tackled a fire that started in a conservatory of a home and spread to the roof and first floor.

Crews called to the blaze in Hungerford Close, Basingstoke, found smoke and flames coming from the roof on Thursday, shortly after 18:00 BST.

The fire service said the blaze in the mid-terraced house also affected neighbouring homes, with fans used to clear smoke.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.
