Police are investigating the death of a retired pharmacist who was today found dead after a fire at her detached village home.
Anne Peterson, 79, lived alone in Old Street, Newton Flotman, near Norwich, Norfolk.
The widow lived on a quiet road where house prices average £280,000.
Her death is being treated as 'unexplained' by police and forensic officers have begun a crime scene investigation to try and establish how she died.
Norfolk Fire Service investigators are also looking into the cause of the fire which is currently unknown.
The inferno was tackled by five crews of firefighters at the detached home, which is close to the main A140 road between Norwich and Ipswich, after the alarm was jailed just after 3am.
Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service alerted police at 3.50am after her body was found in the house.
