It is believed that 2 men entered the premises and held up the woman.
The robbers beat her up and attempted to suffocate her before fleeing on foot.
It is unclear what was stolen from the house, as the victim is traumatised and still coming to terms with the horrific ordeal.
Neighbours and family members were seen standing around, shocked and baffled.
