Crossword Genius

Unfortunately no mains in large house (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mansion

'large house' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'unfortunately no mains' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates an anagram (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'no'+'mains'='nomains'
'nomains' with letters rearranged gives 'MANSION'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mansion that I've seen before include "Large dwelling" , "Big house" , "Large house" , "large residence" , "Opulent house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
