Firefighters remain in Calbourne this morning (Monday), and Elm Lane remains closed, where a thatched cottage has been on fire overnight.
The fire is now out but some crew members remain, to dampen down and check for hotspots.
They were first called to Elm Lane, after flames and smoke were spotted, just after 7pm on Sunday.
The incident was described as "pretty serious" by a spokesperson for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service.
