Gannet leapt out in house (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plantagenet

'house' is the definition.
(historical royal house)

'gannet leapt out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'gannet'+'leapt'='gannetleapt'
'gannetleapt' anagrammed gives 'PLANTAGENET'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for plantagenet that I've seen before include "Member of English royal house from Henry II to Richard III" , "9 [HOUSE]" , "Former English royal family" , "royal dynasty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
