Premises occupied by judge with single set of enviable neighbours (3,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the joneses

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

'set of enviable neighbours' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'premises occupied by judge with single' is the wordplay.
'premises' becomes 'theses' (thesis is a kind of premise).
'occupied by' is an insertion indicator.
'judge' becomes 'j' (abbreviation for judge).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'single' becomes 'one' (a single thing - only one).
'j'+'one'='jone'
'theses' going around 'jone' is 'THE JONESES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for the joneses that I've seen is " See 6".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
