I believe the answer is:

bungalow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'stop by a blue' is the wordplay.
'stop by' becomes 'bung' (bung is a kind of stop. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.**).
'blue' becomes 'low' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bung'+'a'+'low'='BUNGALOW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bungalow that I've seen before include "Low building" , "One-storeyed home" , "A blowgun (anag.)" , "It may house" , "Single-storey home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
