Told way to find country house (5)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
