Fire crews were called to a home at Cessnock this morning, following reports a house fire had broken-out.
Four trucks arrived on-scene just before 8:00am, to find a weatherboard and iron home on Allandale Road was well alight.
It took about 16 firefighters half an hour to contain the blaze, and it was fully extinguished by 9:00am.
The house was destroyed by the blaze.
It's believed no one was inside the home at the time.
Police are now investigating the cause of the fire.
