The elderly female driver collided with another vehicle at the intersection of Mollison and Beauchamp Streets, wit the impact pushing her car onto the verandah, wiping out on the home’s support posts.
A female occupant was home at the time of the incident; she was suffering from shock as a result of the close call.
SES volunteers were assessing damage to the house.
The road was blocked for about an hour while police, firefighters and paramedics attended the scene. It has since reopened.
Both drivers were taken to hospital for observation.
It is expected the driver will be issued with an infringement notice for failing to give way.
Acting Sergeant Jamie Jordan said the Mollison and Beauchamp streets intersection was a trouble spot for Kyneton police, with motorists failing to hede stop signs – even though marked patrol cars frequently parked nearby.
