County with appeal for basic accommodation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedsit

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

'county with appeal' is the wordplay.
'county' becomes 'beds' (I've seen this before).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'appeal' becomes 'it'.
'beds'+'it'='BEDSIT'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bedsit that I've seen before include "One-room flat" , "Cheap digs" , "One-room accommodation" , "One-room dwelling" , "Basic accommodation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
