A 54-year-old woman has been charged after a suspicious house fire in NSW's central west.

NSW Fire and Rescue were able to extinguish the blaze that caused extensive damage to the front of the home.

No residents were in the home at the time.

She was refused bail to appear in Orange Local Court Thursday.
