A spokesman for South Wales Police confirmed firefighters rescued a woman from the first floor of the home. He confirmed the fire is not being treated as suspicious and that nobody was seriously hurt.
Concerned neighbour Amy Gough woke up to see smoke coming from the home. She said: "We got up at 5.50am and had a look outside and could see smoke coming out of the window. There was an ambulance and paramedics who checked out the lady, but we were told she wasn't hurt."
Amy said the road was blocked off for around an hour-and-a-half while the emergency services dealt with the incident. She said: "There were also two fire engines, which showed up at around 6.10am, and a community car. The police turned up last to make sure everything was okay.
