With quiet tread walk home (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pad

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'with quiet tread walk' is the first definition.
(pad can mean to walk quietly)

'home' is the second definition.
(pad can mean a person's home)

(Other definitions for pad that I've seen before include "Guard against impact" , "Walk softly on flat or bedsit" , "It's found on an animals's foot and a cricketer's leg" , "Jotter; compress" , "Sheets of paper fastened together along one edge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
