Flat pack for West Country town (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

padstow

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

'west country town' is the definition.
'padstow' can be an answer for 'town' (I have seen 'Cornish town' mean 'padstow' so perhaps 'town' could also mean 'padstow'). I am not sure about the 'west country' bit.

'flat pack' is the wordplay.
'flat' becomes 'pad' (a person's home).
'pack' becomes 'stow' (stowing is a kind of packing).
'pad'+'stow'='PADSTOW'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for padstow that I've seen before include "Cornish seaside resort" , "Cornish town" , "North Cornish resort with an annual 'Obby 'Oss festival" , "Town in Cornwall" , "Home for Rick Stein" .)
