The fire started in the kitchen of one home, but quickly spread through the building and into a neighbouring property.
A Red Cross team were called in and an 82-year-old woman was treated for smoke inhalation.
No-one else was injured in the blaze, which was eventually extinguished by crews using three hose vehicles.
