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 Barham, Bekesbourne, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 43 m² | 46 m² | 64 m² | 47 |
| 3 | 51 m² | 60 m² | 75 m² | 182 |
| 4 | 59 m² | 76 m² | 93 m² | 268 |
| 5 | 87 m² | 105 m² | 148 m² | 343 |
| 6 | 103 m² | 133 m² | 181 m² | 317 |
| 7 | 121 m² | 155 m² | 213 m² | 371 |
| 8 | 140 m² | 178 m² | 243 m² | 179 |
| 9 | 168 m² | 215 m² | 291 m² | 128 |
| 10 | 196 m² | 276 m² | 360 m² | 61 |
| 11 | 267 m² | 355 m² | 396 m² | 30 |
| 12 | 286 m² | 409 m² | 505 m² | 12 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 10 habitable rooms, ranging from 196 to 360 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.
