Intellect Wren potentially manifested round house's east wing (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egghead

'intellect' is the definition.
(egghead is a kind of intellect)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for egghead that I've seen before include "may take a bashing at the breakfast table" , "Ovoid-shaped intellectual" , "brain" , "Very clever person" , "where soldiers may take a dip?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
