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 Downley, Micklefield, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 27 m² | 28 m² | 35 m² | 71 |
| 2 | 38 m² | 44 m² | 53 m² | 542 |
| 3 | 46 m² | 57 m² | 69 m² | 1,050 |
| 4 | 66 m² | 81 m² | 94 m² | 1,291 |
| 5 | 74 m² | 87 m² | 106 m² | 1,791 |
| 6 | 88 m² | 109 m² | 134 m² | 518 |
| 7 | 109 m² | 138 m² | 182 m² | 341 |
| 8 | 129 m² | 155 m² | 222 m² | 149 |
| 9 | 166 m² | 196 m² | 248 m² | 81 |
| 10 | 168 m² | 229 m² | 274 m² | 31 |
| 11 | 231 m² | 243 m² | 269 m² | 8 |
| 12 | 255 m² | 297 m² | 390 m² | 5 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 8 habitable rooms, ranging from 129 to 222 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.
