Four fire crews spent hours at a property in Alderley Edge last night after its thatched roof caught fire.
One fire engine from Wilmslow, one from Bollington, one from Poynton and one from Macclesfield were all called to the detached property on Mottram Road at 6pm on Saturday, 4th November.
The fire involving the thatched roof had spread to the loft space.
Firefighters were still in attendance at 9.50pm when a spokesperson for Cheshire Fire & Rescue said "Firefighters are still at this incident cutting away and stripping the roof of thatch. This will expose any smouldering material and enable them to extinguish hot spots of fire. A fire break has also been made on the roof to stop the fire from spreading to the undamaged thatch."
