Distant US home rebuilt — a place in the country (9)
I believe the answer is:
farmhouse
'a place in the country' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'distant us home rebuilt' is the wordplay.
'distant' becomes 'far' (synonyms).
'rebuilt' indicates anagramming the letters.
'us'+'home'='ushome'
'ushome' is an anagram of 'mhouse'.
'far'+'mhouse'='FARMHOUSE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for farmhouse that I've seen is " Find country dwelling in safe humor".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
