Bit of property near English river (4)
I believe the answer is:
tyne
'english river' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'bit of property near' is the wordplay.
'bit of' indicates a hidden word.
'TYNE' can be found hidden inside 'property near'.
(Other definitions for tyne that I've seen before include "North of England river" , "River of northeast England" , "Newcastle's river" , "Geordie river" , "Banker" .)
