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 Annfield Plain, Stanley, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 40 m² | 48 m² | 62 m² | 32 |
| 3 | 56 m² | 69 m² | 87 m² | 1,042 |
| 4 | 65 m² | 79 m² | 97 m² | 1,837 |
| 5 | 74 m² | 91 m² | 115 m² | 1,515 |
| 6 | 92 m² | 113 m² | 156 m² | 284 |
| 7 | 111 m² | 131 m² | 190 m² | 172 |
| 8 | 153 m² | 180 m² | 267 m² | 64 |
| 9 | 152 m² | 210 m² | 369 m² | 39 |
| 10 | 293 m² | 381 m² | 387 m² | 9 |
| 11 | 206 m² | 278 m² | 325 m² | 7 |
| 12 | 274 m² | 311 m² | 456 m² | 7 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 9 habitable rooms, ranging from 152 to 369 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.
