'though good he takes an age getting a house' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'though good he' is the wordplay.
'though good' becomes 'par' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'he' becomes 'Son'.
'par'+'son'='PARSON'
