Lofty abode (5)
I believe the answer is:
aerie
'lofty abode' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for aerie that I've seen before include "inaccessible place" , "Lofty nest (alternative spelling)" , "lofty dwelling" , "Sort of nest" , "Visionary" .)
