Sadly no charms in this county resident (10)
I believe the answer is:
cornishman
'this county resident' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'sadly no charms in' is the wordplay.
'sadly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'no'+'charms'+'in'='nocharmsin'
'nocharmsin' anagrammed gives 'CORNISHMAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for cornishman that I've seen is " Westerner".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
