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 Wantage, Ardington, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 34 m² | 47 m² | 59 m² | 179 |
| 3 | 54 m² | 67 m² | 96 m² | 271 |
| 4 | 61 m² | 74 m² | 96 m² | 544 |
| 5 | 77 m² | 90 m² | 118 m² | 647 |
| 6 | 100 m² | 119 m² | 158 m² | 443 |
| 7 | 111 m² | 143 m² | 200 m² | 358 |
| 8 | 131 m² | 169 m² | 232 m² | 232 |
| 9 | 160 m² | 200 m² | 291 m² | 83 |
| 10 | 188 m² | 223 m² | 322 m² | 66 |
| 11 | 240 m² | 300 m² | 412 m² | 22 |
| 12 | 255 m² | 328 m² | 454 m² | 13 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 9 habitable rooms, ranging from 160 to 291 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.
