Abode constructed of brick (5)
I believe the answer is:
adobe
'brick' is the definition.
(adobe is a kind of brick)
'abode constructed' is the wordplay.
'constructed' is an anagram indicator.
'abode' with letters rearranged gives 'ADOBE'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for adobe that I've seen before include "Clay used for sun-dried bricks" , "Clay dwelling" , "house" , "Building material of clay and straw dried in the sun" , "Clay for mud bricks" .)
