Crossword Genius

Roman-style house (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manor

'house' is the definition.
(manor house is a kind of house)

'roman-style' is the wordplay.
'style' indicates an anagram (style can mean to shape or design).
'roman' anagrammed gives 'MANOR'.

(Other definitions for manor that I've seen before include "police area" , "Large country house for Roman" , "patch" , "Land once belonging to a nobleman" , "Big house - police district" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
