About to get a new house (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cottage

'house' is the definition.
(I know that cottage is a type of house)

'about to get a new' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for circa).
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'get'+'a'='togeta'
'togeta' with letters rearranged gives 'ottage'.
'c'+'ottage'='COTTAGE'

(Other definitions for cottage that I've seen before include "To make a home" , "bungalow" , "Small house, in the country say" , "building" , "Small home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
