The space signal
Property listings describe homes by bedroom count, but that is not recorded in any public dataset. What is recorded is the number of habitable rooms — bedrooms and reception rooms together — and the total floor area. In Carlisle, Houghton, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 97 m² | 108 m² | 108 m² | 5 |
| 2 | 39 m² | 43 m² | 52 m² | 29 |
| 3 | 50 m² | 58 m² | 74 m² | 349 |
| 4 | 57 m² | 79 m² | 97 m² | 482 |
| 5 | 69 m² | 89 m² | 116 m² | 724 |
| 6 | 89 m² | 114 m² | 149 m² | 337 |
| 7 | 105 m² | 145 m² | 184 m² | 244 |
| 8 | 124 m² | 156 m² | 211 m² | 91 |
| 9 | 162 m² | 206 m² | 280 m² | 25 |
| 11 | 238 m² | 283 m² | 445 m² | 5 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 11 habitable rooms, ranging from 238 to 445 m². Two properties advertised the same way can differ by more than half their floor area, which is why price per square metre is a more useful comparison than price alone.
