The blaze at the house, believed to be in Reddingrig Place, happened after it was reportedly struck by lightning during the massive thunderstorm which hit the area last night – and led to a butchers shop in Brightons also catching fire.

An online appeal was set up for the family by friends and neighbours and has so far raised over £1200 from over 60 donors.
