Floor area & its limits
Sanctuary HouseApprox. 5,188 sq ftPublished measurement; not independently measured.Measurement qualifications
The first-floor Eyrie provides about 200 sq m of open-plan living space opening to approximately 150 sq m of terraces overlooking the Exe Estuary and Bowling Green Marsh reserve.
Signed RICS component area and the inclusion basis for the 5,188 sq ft market figure
The current Rightmove instruction publishes a structured 3,800 sq ft / 353 sq m field while the original listing repeatedly describes approximately or more than 4,000 sq ft; Aveno uses the smaller figure for the headline density and preserves the conflict.
Fine & Country South East London's YouTube film shows the exact 4,000-plus sq ft, five-bedroom, four-bathroom Manor Way property; Aveno embeds only the privacy-enhanced publisher player and copies no still, photograph, screenshot or footage.

Transaction source ↗A historical sale is not an earlier asking price; no price reduction is inferred.
