Nasty goblin outside around hut (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

log-cabin

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

'nasty goblin outside around' is the wordplay.
'nasty' is an anagram indicator (a nasty or wrong spelling).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'around' becomes 'ca' (circa).
'goblin' with letters rearranged gives 'logbin'.
'logbin' going around 'ca' is 'LOG-CABIN'.
