Thatched house goes up in flames
Fire has badly damaged a thatched cottage which had been undergoing renovation
in Somerset.
Crews from across the county were called to tackle the blaze at the two-storey property in Whitney Bottom near Horton.
The alarm was raised by a member of the public. The house was not occupied at the time.
The fire was brought under control early on Monday. The cause of the blaze is being investigated.
