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

'charming address rented with means to renovate' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'rented with means to renovate' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'to renovate' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'renovated' mean this).
'rented'+'means'='rentedmeans'
'rentedmeans' anagrammed gives 'ENDEARMENTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for endearments that I've seen is " Sweet nothings".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
