Fire crews were called to a late-night house blaze on a new-build Yarm estate.
Emergency services attended a property on Sybilla Grove, on the Conyers Green estate, following a fire on Sunday (November 10) just before 7.30pm.
Pictures taken from the scene show two fire engines parked along the road, with the front room of the property and the exterior brickwork left blackened by the fire.
A Cleveland Fire Brigade spokesperson confirmed that there were no people involved in the incident, and as of 8.30pm, the fire service still had one fire engine at the scene.
They said: "I can confirm we attended. We sent three appliances to the scene, two from Thornaby and one from Yarm. We received the call at 7.27pm.
