Hoses out a building where hops are dried (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oast house

'where hops are dried' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hoses out a building' is the wordplay.
'building' indicates an anagram.
'hoses'+'out'+'a'='hosesouta'
'hosesouta' with letters rearranged gives 'OAST-HOUSE'.

(Other definitions for oast house that I've seen before include "Hops in here to dry" , "See this building" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
