After six everyone goes back home (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

villa

'home' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'after six everyone goes back' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'six' becomes 'VI' (Roman numerals).
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'goes back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'all' reversed gives 'lla'.
'vi'+'lla' is 'VILLA'.

(Other definitions for villa that I've seen before include "Type of house" , "Ancient Roman's country house" , "Country house (in Aston?)" , "Ancient Roman country house" , "where 6 [VERDI] lived?" .)
