House needs me, servant reportedly crude in style? (4-4)

I believe the answer is:

home-made

'crude in style?' is the definition.
(crude or simple)

'house needs me servant reportedly' is the wordplay.
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'needs' says to put letters next to each other.
'servant' becomes 'maid' (maid is a type of servant).
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'maid' is a homophone of 'made'.
'ho'+'me'+'made'='HOME-MADE'

(Another definition for home-made that I've seen is " Produced on the premises".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
