Room around receptacle (5)
I believe the answer is:
cabin
'room' is the definition.
(cabin is a kind of room)
'around receptacle' is the wordplay.
'around' becomes 'ca' (circa).
'receptacle' becomes 'bin' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ca'+'bin'='CABIN'
(Other definitions for cabin that I've seen before include "Wooden shack" , "place on board" , "Chalet" , "Small wooden shelter" , "Room on board ship" .)
