'cosy here in' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'end' is the wordplay.
'end' can be anagrammed to 'DEN'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for den that I've seen before include "Habitation of wild animals (3)" , "Home of the beast" , "Animal lair or gent's study" , "Animal's home or gent's study" , "Wild animal's lair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
