Twenty fire fighters and four fire engines have been battling a blaze at a mansion.

The fire was at a property in The Green, which is a private road, near the A240 Reigate Road in East Ewell.

Although it is believed the fire has been brought under control, the owner, who is at the property, is very distressed.

Fire fighters have been waiting for the power to be turned off and for the arrival of more dry powder from Reigate before moving to damp down the affected area.

UK Power Networks arrived shortly before 4.30pm to shut off the power.
