Painter having house with courtyard (7)
I believe the answer is:
hogarth
'painter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'house with courtyard' is the wordplay.
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'courtyard' becomes 'garth' (type of open space).
'ho'+'garth'='HOGARTH'
'having' is the link.
(Other definitions for hogarth that I've seen before include "A Rake's Progress artist" , "He painted" , "Engraver's" , "English painter and satirist, d. 1764" , "William --, English artist and engraver" .)
