The fire broke out late Saturday evening and quickly spread to the nearby cowshed, reducing both structures to ashes within a short span, they said.
The property belonged to Mohd Ashrif Mir, a local resident.
Locals, along with personnel from the Fire and Emergency Services department, rushed to the spot and managed to bring the blaze under control, officials said, adding that the structures had suffered extensive damage by then.
No loss of life or injuries were reported in the incident, they said.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known and an investigation has been initiated, officials added.(KNS)
