Staff heading for some English minister's house (5)
I believe the answer is:
manse
'minister's house' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'staff heading for some english' is the wordplay.
'staff' becomes 'man' (manning is a kind of staffing**).
'heading for' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'some english' is 'se'.
'man'+'se'='MANSE'
(Other definitions for manse that I've seen before include "Scottish minister's house" , "Pile of rector'" , "Accommodation" , "Presbyterian minister's house" , "House of a clergyman" .)
