Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the property and were able to find and quickly extinguish the fire in the house.
Crews then used a positive pressure ventilation fan to clear the smoke from the property.
The property owner who had escaped the property suffering minor smoke inhalation was checked over by North West Ambulance Service as the scene.
Fire crews were on the scene at Strickland Gate for approximately two hours before handing the property back over to the owner.
