Fire crews have been using an aerial platform to remove loose and dangerous debris from the burnt out shell of the roof.
This is thought to enable investigators to carry out a detailed forensic examination inside the home.
Anyone with information which could help the investigation is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 1 and speak to the Force Control Room.
