I believe the answer is:

hop it

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

'clear' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'house to the west of mine' is the wordplay.
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'to the west of' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters go to the west or 'left').
'mine' becomes 'pit' (down the pit).
'ho'+'pit'='HOP IT'

'out' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hop it that I've seen before include "Skedaddle!" , "Run along now!" , "Get away!" , "shove off" , "On your bike!" .)
