Roman destroyed house (5)

I believe the answer is:

manor

'house' is the definition.
(manor house is a kind of house)

'roman destroyed' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' is an anagram indicator.
'roman' with letters rearranged gives 'MANOR'.

(Other definitions for manor that I've seen before include "Police district (slang)" , "local copper's area" , "Grand country house" , "patch" , "lord's home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
