Rogue's holiday home at home (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

villain

'rogue's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'holiday home at home' is the wordplay.
'holiday home' becomes 'villa' (I've seen this before).
'at home' becomes 'in' (similar in meaning).
'villa'+'in'='VILLAIN'

(Other definitions for villain that I've seen before include "One played badly" , "Bad person in story/play" , "Bad guy" , "Wicked criminal" , "Criminal; stage baddy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
