Attorney putting church next to a villa (5)
I believe the answer is:
dacha
'villa' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Russian villa ' mean 'dacha' so perhaps 'villa' could also mean 'dacha')
'attorney putting church next to a' is the wordplay.
'attorney' becomes 'DA' (District Attorney).
'putting church next' becomes 'ch' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'da'+'ch'+'a'='DACHA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dacha that I've seen before include "Russian villa" , "property overseas" , "Russian's second home in the country" , "Russian house in the country" , "Russian second home" .)
