Goat etc wrecking rural property (7)
I believe the answer is:
cottage
'rural property' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'goat etc wrecking' is the wordplay.
'goat etc' anagrams to 'COTTAGE'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cottage that I've seen before include "Small home" , "Small place" , "simple accommodation" , "Rural house" , "Country dwelling" .)
