Property, English, say (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estate

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

'english say' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'say' becomes 'state' (synonyms).
'e'+'state'='ESTATE'

(Other definitions for estate that I've seen before include "Housing area" , "Place for tea or coffee" , "Nakedness" , "Vehicle" , "The whole of a deceased person's assets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
