English country property (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estate

'property' is the definition.
(estate is a kind of property)

'english country' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'country' becomes 'state' ('state' can be a synonym of 'country').
'e'+'state'='ESTATE'

(Other definitions for estate that I've seen before include "Condition" , "Industrial area" , "Housing area" , "Property - tea set (anag)" , "All of one's assets after death" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
