Room in the nick refurbished (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kitchen

'room' is the definition.
(kitchen is a kind of room)

'the nick refurbished' is the wordplay.
'refurbished' is an anagram indicator.
'the'+'nick'='thenick'
'thenick' anagrammed gives 'KITCHEN'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for kitchen that I've seen before include "Place to cook" , "Place for cooking food" , "Room with cooking facilities" , "food prepared here" , "Proverbial place of uncomfortable heat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
