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 Eccles, Alder Forest, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 39 m² | 44 m² | 52 m² | 279 |
| 3 | 48 m² | 58 m² | 73 m² | 669 |
| 4 | 60 m² | 76 m² | 95 m² | 1,578 |
| 5 | 65 m² | 83 m² | 109 m² | 1,142 |
| 6 | 86 m² | 111 m² | 149 m² | 367 |
| 7 | 110 m² | 140 m² | 180 m² | 195 |
| 8 | 140 m² | 176 m² | 249 m² | 105 |
| 9 | 159 m² | 200 m² | 236 m² | 37 |
| 10 | 227 m² | 324 m² | 356 m² | 17 |
| 11 | 190 m² | 285 m² | 340 m² | 12 |
| 12 | 273 m² | 280 m² | 311 m² | 7 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 11 habitable rooms, ranging from 190 to 340 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.
