I believe the answer is:

hazardous

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unsafe' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'venture to say he left' is the wordplay.
'venture' becomes 'hazard' (both can mean to offer or suggest).
'to say he left' becomes 'ous' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hazard'+'ous'='HAZARDOUS'

'house' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
