The homeowner, who asked not to be named, told The Courier he was at the back of the house when the crash occurred.
He said: “The first I knew of it was when my daughter shouted that a car had crashed into our house.
“I rushed outside and saw the badly damaged car sat in the front garden just a few feet from our door.
“There were a lot of police vehicles in the street just a minute or so after it had happened.
“Thankfully the stone wall had helped in the impact and slowed the car down before it came through the house.
“Police were all over the street for most of the evening before the car was removed.
“I’m just thankful none of us have been hurt.”
