The property on College Road, Norwich, was badly damaged in the blaze, which took firefighters three hours to bring under control, and lost most of its roof.

The fire broke out on Friday night while a fireworks display was being held by the 33rd Norwich Scout group at its base on nearby Jessopp Road.

Max Morris, who owns the home, believes a rogue rocket from the display landed on the roof and started the fire.
