Peg doll brought back outside house (5)
I believe the answer is:
lodge
'house' is the definition.
(I know that lodge is a kind of house)
'peg doll brought back outside' is the wordplay.
'outside' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (a word is around or outside the answer).
'brought back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'egdol' is hidden in the letters of 'peg doll'.
'egdol' in reverse letter order is 'LODGE'.
(Other definitions for lodge that I've seen before include "Masonic meeting place" , "abode" , "group of masons" , "Small gatehouse" , "Beaver found here" .)
