House is due a nice redesign (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

audience

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

'due a nice redesign' is the wordplay.
'redesign' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'due'+'a'+'nice'='dueanice'
'dueanice' is an anagram of 'AUDIENCE'.

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for audience that I've seen before include "Formal meeting with the Pope" , "Those attending a concert or theatre" , "People attending theatre" , "A gathering to watch and hear" , "Theatre-goers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
