Emergency services were alerted at 11.33am and the crews – one each from Prince Street and Colchester Road – found the upstairs well alight.
Firefighters using breathing apparatus tackled the fire in a house next door to Murrayfield Primary School, which was put out by 12.04pm.
No one was in the building at the time of the incident, but the owner returned as firefighters were dealing with the blaze.
There was no danger to the neighbouring school and pupils were not evacuated during the drama.
