Means to revise the parson's address... (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manse

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

'parson's address' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'means to revise' is the wordplay.
'to revise' is an anagram indicator.
'means' is an anagram of 'MANSE'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for manse that I've seen before include "Scots minister's house" , "Religious minister's house" , "Minister's quarters" , "Accommodation" , "Scottish minister's residence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
