A spokesman for Derbyshire Police said: "We believe an electric fire was left on during the night. The house has been gutted."
Fire fighters from Ripley and Alfreton stations attended the incident and were on scene until 6.20am.
A spokesman for Derbyshire fire and rescue service said: "The call initially came through at 4.59am as a report of a house fire with people involved. Everybody was safely accounted for by 5.18am and the fire was out by 5.30am."
