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 Sherborne, Alweston, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 m² | 30 m² | 84 m² | 12 |
| 2 | 37 m² | 43 m² | 55 m² | 59 |
| 3 | 50 m² | 61 m² | 88 m² | 241 |
| 4 | 60 m² | 76 m² | 100 m² | 463 |
| 5 | 74 m² | 93 m² | 127 m² | 429 |
| 6 | 103 m² | 129 m² | 188 m² | 441 |
| 7 | 123 m² | 157 m² | 229 m² | 379 |
| 8 | 139 m² | 181 m² | 249 m² | 191 |
| 9 | 166 m² | 235 m² | 309 m² | 98 |
| 10 | 208 m² | 276 m² | 350 m² | 27 |
| 11 | 246 m² | 277 m² | 327 m² | 15 |
| 12 | 262 m² | 409 m² | 662 m² | 13 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 1 habitable rooms, ranging from 20 to 84 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.
