From the BBC:
The silver Ford Focus was driven into the house on York Road in Eastleigh, Hampshire, at about 04:30 BST on Friday.
Police said the front of the vehicle ended up in the lounge and that the road was closed while surveyors assessed how to move the car safely.
The driver, 21, ran off on foot and was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.
Yup, the perils of living in an end terrace.
I would assume the driver was heading south on Southampton Road and tried to turn right into York Road.
This pic from Google Maps shows the layout, Southampton Road runs left to right, the car hit the house to the left of the side door.

Car hits house

Glad we got that one sorted.
JH, we haven't sorted it at all. It happens surprisingly often. Oo-er...
If it happens often, why has there not been a couple of stout bollards on the road side, to stop any cars hitting the wall and so prevent damage to the house? Too easy a solution, perhaps?
RR, that puzzles me too.
....although the cost of the bollards should of course be borne by the householder (or his insurance company). Or his Council Tax should go up to cover it :-) .
FT, if I ended up owning a house like that, I'd happily stump up for some crash barriers along the kerb.
Exactement, m'sieu!
Ah, but Someone Else should be doing it, donch'a know...?
