Is house' directions a correct grammar?
The apostrophe floating on its own at the end of a word is not usually correct in the singular form, and it is certainly incorrect in "house' directions". Write instead "house directions".

For example, when seeking the directions to a group of houses, it is correct (though somewhat awkward) to write houses' directions.
