The maisonette in Norreys Avenue, Wokingham was well alight when the first of three fire crews were called out shortly after 8.30pm last night.
No one was injured as fellow residents in the block had managed to evacuate themselves but fire engines from Wokingham, Bracknell and Reading were all in attendance as they tackled the blaze.
The cause of the fire is not yet known but the majority of the damage was in the bedroom of the flat where the fire was burning strongest.
An investigation into what started the fire has been launched.
