Storage space that’s left frequently (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loft

'storage space' is the definition.

'left frequently' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'frequently' becomes 'oft' (I've seen this before).
'l'+'oft'='LOFT'

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for loft that I've seen before include "Storage space under a roof" , "Roof space area" , "Propel through the air" , "Kick high in the air" , "Space under barn roof for storing hay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
