His neighbour, Nat Allan, said his 3-year-old son Alexander had been playing in the bedroom just before the tree fell on to it. "He got a high-five from the fireman who came to make it safe."
When the tree was cleared away it revealed dented roofs and crushed spouting. A check for more structural damage will be made today.
Mr Allan said the incident was a surprise because the valley was normally sheltered from winds.
