Our home’s an unusually large residence (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manor house

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'large residence' is the definition.
'manor house' can be an answer for 'residence' (manor house is a kind of residence). I am not sure about the 'large' bit.

'our home's an unusually' is the wordplay.
'unusually' indicates anagramming the letters.
'our'+'homes'+'an'='ourhomesan'
'ourhomesan' anagrammed gives 'MANOR-HOUSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for manor house that I've seen is " lord's seat".)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
