Means to build a home (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manse

'a home' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Religious home' mean 'manse' so perhaps 'home' could also mean 'manse')

'means to build' is the wordplay.
'to build' is an anagram indicator.
'means' with letters rearranged gives 'MANSE'.

(Other definitions for manse that I've seen before include "Presbyterian minister's house" , "Religious home" , "Accommodation" , "Minister's quarters" , "Religious minister's house" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
