Told way to find country house (5)
I believe the answer is:
manor
'country house' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'told way' is the wordplay.
'told' shows a homophone (sound like).
'way' becomes 'manner' (synonyms).
'manner' sounds like 'MANOR'.
'to find' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for manor that I've seen before include "patch" , "local copper's area" , "Large country house for Roman" , "house on estate" , "Mansion of a wealthy person" .)
