A stylish old house (5)
I believe the answer is:
tudor
'old house' is the definition.
(historical royal house)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tudor that I've seen before include "Relating to the English ruling family in the 1500s" , "Dynasty's founder" , "Owen's house" , "Name of a royal house" , "Royal family, fourteen eighty five to sixteen hundred and three" .)
