Own new shelter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haven

'shelter' is the definition.
(I know that haven is a type of shelter)

'own new' is the wordplay.
'own' becomes 'have' (synonyms).
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'have'+'n'='HAVEN'

(Other definitions for haven that I've seen before include "Sheltered port" , "Safe harbour" , "Harbour - shelter" , "Anchorage - retreat" , "Harbour, oasis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
