It is believed the fire began in the switchboard and travelled into the ceiling and walls.
Firefighters used a thermal imaging camera to identify hotspots and removed timber from the fascia and eaves to gain access to the fire.
Powercor was in attendance and isolated power from the property.
An investigation into the cause will occur.
