Company chief ordered to get a small house (7)
I believe the answer is:
cottage
'small house' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'company chief ordered to get a' is the wordplay.
'chief' indicates taking the first letters.
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
The first letter of 'company' is 'c'.
'to'+'get'+'a'='togeta'
'togeta' is an anagram of 'ottage'.
'c'+'ottage'='COTTAGE'
(Other definitions for cottage that I've seen before include "Rural dwelling" , "Small single-storey dwelling" , "Small place" , "Country dwelling" , "Country residence" .)
