Sweep past back of hulking manor (6)
I believe the answer is:
grange
'manor' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'sweep past back of hulking' is the wordplay.
'sweep' becomes 'range' (both can mean extent or variety).
'past' says to put letters next to each other.
'back of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'hulking' is 'g'.
'range' after 'g' is 'GRANGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grange that I've seen before include "Ganger in country house with farm buildings" , "Country house with outbuildings" , "Country house/farm" , "Farmhouse" , "old dwelling" .)
