How to read this comparison

Headline details are agent or publisher claims unless a source-backed fact is explicitly marked verified. Aveno interpretations and calculations are labelled separately. Unknown means evidence is missing, not that a property fails a check.

Floor area & its limitsWitnesham HallApprox. 9,256 sq ftPublished measurement; not independently measured.
Measurement qualifications

9,256 sq ft estate total; principal hall almost 7,000 sq ft — Signed building-by-building allocation remains outstanding.

Savills attributes 9,256 sq ft to the marketed estate and describes the principal hall as almost 7,000 sq ft, with a separate two-bedroom cottage, cinema/pool building, garages and equestrian facilities.

Signed component areas for the hall and every ancillary building.

Measurement qualifications

Reason for 495.8 m² versus 401 m² area discrepancy

94 Manor WayApprox. 3,800 sq ftPublished measurement; not independently measured.
Measurement qualifications

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.
