Bloke in a European residence (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'residence' is the definition.
(I know that residence can be written as abode)
'bloke in a european' is the wordplay.
'bloke' becomes 'bod' (bod can mean a person).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'a'+'e'='ae'
'bod' going within 'ae' is 'ABODE'.
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "Pad" , "Home or domicile" , "stay" , "Dwelling, residence" , "House made of adobe" .)
