front room

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'house' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'boldness by cleaner removing initial' is the wordplay.
'boldness by' becomes 'front' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cleaner' becomes 'broom' (I've seen this before).
'removing initial' means to remove the first letter.
'broom' with its first letter taken away is 'room'.
'front'+'room'='FRONT ROOM'

'part of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for front room that I've seen is " lounge".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
