Property of nobleman with rosy hue, blitzed? (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
country house
'property' is the definition.
(I know that country house is a type of property)
'nobleman with rosy hue blitzed?' is the wordplay.
'nobleman' becomes 'count' (count is a kind of nobleman).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'blitzed?' is an anagram indicator.
'rosy'+'hue'='rosyhue'
'rosyhue' anagrammed gives 'ryhouse'.
'count'+'ryhouse'='COUNTRY-HOUSE'
'of' acts as a link.
(Another definition for country house that I've seen is " rural retreat".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
