A NORFOLK home was partly destroyed this afternoon after a blaze swept through it.

The fire in The Green in Runhall, near Dereham, destroyed the roof and badly damaged the ground floor of the two storey building.

Five fire crews wearing breathing apparatus battled the blaze after it broke out at about 3pm.

They asked for overhead power lines to be made safe after they were downed by the fire.

The ground floor of the building suffered water and slight fire damage during the incident.
