Firefighters arrived to find the building well-consumed by fire, with 9 News reporting it took just over an hour to contain the fire.

By the time it was under control, the property was completely destroyed.

Two residents managed to get themselves out safely and were checked over by paramedics.

Fire and Rescue NSW are probing the cause of the blaze, including whether it was caused by a log fire. Picture: Facebook

It is understood the property had been rented out in the last month, with the current residents effectively rendered homeless.

Fire and Rescue NSW will be on the scene for most of Sunday to determine the cause of the blaze, with a potential lead being a log fire burning inside the property at the time.

Firefighters have urged residents to have a “working fire alarm” with the onset of winter and a spike in house fires.
