Open-fronted platform forming a porch area (7)

I believe the answer is:

veranda

(Other definitions for veranda that I've seen before include "Open portico" , "Roofed platform along the outside of a house" , "Roofed open terrace alongside a house" , "Stoop" , "balcony" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
