Hunter Valley detectives are investigating the cause of a fire which destroyed a vacant weatherboard cottage and a car at Singleton overnight.

Fire crews from Branxton, Singleton and Rutherford were called to Mary Street just before 8.30 to find the empty home and car parked alongside well alight.

A neighbouring home also suffered minor heat damage.
