The data on FR24 looks pretty solid to me. I don't think those houses were on the runway and the village they hit is indeed west of the airport.

A decelerating descent on the glide is depicted but the groundspeed seems high with the last data point at 162 knots at 0116Z. This seems to correlate with the last point on the FlightAware plot giving 165 knots a few seconds earlier:
