The occupants of the house on Melford Road escaped the blaze before the brigade arrived at 7.04am and thankfully are reported as unhurt.
A woman from a neighbouring property was also assessed at the scene by London Ambulance Service crews.
The whole of the first floor and the roof were badly damaged.
Fire crews from West Norwood and surrounding fire stations were at the scene and brought the fire under control in less than ten minutes.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
