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

'an out-of-the-way sort of house?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'did she finish in' is the wordplay.
'did she' becomes 'we' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'finish' means to take half the letters.
'in' becomes 'trendy' ('in' can mean trendy or fashionable).
'trendy' halved is 'ndy'.
'we'+'ndy'='WENDY'

Can you help me to learn more?
