Dwelling trendies refurbished (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resident

'dwelling' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'trendies refurbished' is the wordplay.
'refurbished' is an anagram indicator.
'trendies' with letters rearranged gives 'RESIDENT'.

(Other definitions for resident that I've seen before include "One living in the place referred to" , "Inserted by permanent inhabitant" , "Dwelling in a place for some time" , "Liver" , "Occupant's" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
