Station Officer Bracht said the fire appeared to have started in a bedroom located in the back left-hand corner of the property.
"The house was boarded up upon arrival and we don't believe anyone has been living there for a while," he said.
"We're treating the fire as suspicious and the Wellington captain is liaising with police at this time."
Station Officer said even though the house was unoccupied there were a number of possessions inside the property.
