Edges away from unmarried people in warm place (5)

I believe the answer is:

ingle

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

'warm place' is the definition.
(term for a fireplace)

'edges away from unmarried people' is the wordplay.
'edges away from' indicates the central letters.
'unmarried' becomes 'single-' (similar in meaning).
'people' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The central letters of 'single' are 'ingl'.
'ingl'+'e'='INGLE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ingle that I've seen before include "Fireplace blaze (Scot.)" , "Hearth" , "Fireplace (mainly dialect)" , "Domestic fireplace" , "Catamite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
