A house has gone up in flames in Greenfields.

The blaze started around 3.25pm on Tuesday at the single-storey home on Yanagin Road.

When firefighters arrived the property was fully engulfed.

Neighbours stood on their roof and used hoses to help douse the flames.

It's understood a woman and a young child were inside the house at the time but they managed to escape uninjured.

A DFES spokesperson said the cause of the blaze was accidental.

It caused $300,000 damage.
