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 Arnold, Bestwood, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 53 m² | 81 m² | 88 m² | 7 |
| 2 | 37 m² | 46 m² | 53 m² | 325 |
| 3 | 51 m² | 59 m² | 70 m² | 989 |
| 4 | 61 m² | 77 m² | 92 m² | 2,747 |
| 5 | 68 m² | 84 m² | 104 m² | 3,618 |
| 6 | 95 m² | 118 m² | 150 m² | 1,044 |
| 7 | 110 m² | 133 m² | 171 m² | 646 |
| 8 | 126 m² | 160 m² | 233 m² | 244 |
| 9 | 141 m² | 193 m² | 249 m² | 97 |
| 10 | 136 m² | 216 m² | 278 m² | 41 |
| 11 | 189 m² | 262 m² | 403 m² | 17 |
| 12 | 317 m² | 431 m² | 440 m² | 7 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 11 habitable rooms, ranging from 189 to 403 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.
