The fire destroyed an electricity sub-station next to Marshall Court, off Northampton Road. The home itself lost all power apart from emergency lighting, but was otherwise not affected.

A spokesman for Marshall Court said a resident spotted the sub-station and neighbouring hedge alight at about 9am.

It is not yet known how the fire started.
