A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said five appliances from Mosgiel, Outram, Roslyn and Lookout Point were sent to the Ashton St property about 2.45pm.
When crews arrived they found the house was "well ablaze in fire" but no occupants were home.
Crews had extinguished the fire by about 4pm and four remained at the scene to dampen it down, the spokesman said.
A fire investigator was notified and would go to the scene today to determine the cause of the fire.
