Firefighters were called to the Waugh Road property, near Kokoda Street, about 12.30pm on Thursday after nearby residents raised the alarm.

Police said a woman had left the home to walk her dogs, and returned to find the blaze being extinguished.

Fire and Rescue NSW Inspector Frank Finlay said the interior of the house was alight, but the fire was quickly brought under control.

While the exterior of the older weatherboard home appeared to have been undamaged, he said there was significant internal fire, smoke and water damage.
