One man was rescued from the first floor of the property in Elm Road and was treated on scene as half of the ground floor was damaged just after 6:30.
It’s believed the fire was accidental and caused by an electric fan heater.
Firefighters are warning it’s absolutely vital that heaters are kept well away from combustible materials.
Firefighters issued a warning about e-bike safety after a fire at a property in the same road last September left a family homeless.
