Grounds for clergyman and poet occupying single bed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glebe

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

'grounds for clergyman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'occupying single bed' is the wordplay.
'occupying' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (letters for the answer occupy part of the clue).
'GLEBE' is hidden in the letters of 'single bed'.

'and poet' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glebe that I've seen before include "Land providing part of clergyman's income" , "Grounds for clergyman" , "church territory" , "soil" , "Piece of church-owned land" .)
