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 Ailsworth, Castor, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 38 m² | 43 m² | 43 m² | 8 |
| 3 | 48 m² | 49 m² | 55 m² | 10 |
| 4 | 77 m² | 100 m² | 120 m² | 30 |
| 5 | 82 m² | 90 m² | 122 m² | 28 |
| 6 | 99 m² | 133 m² | 153 m² | 28 |
| 7 | 128 m² | 167 m² | 232 m² | 38 |
| 8 | 149 m² | 187 m² | 240 m² | 41 |
| 9 | 148 m² | 181 m² | 304 m² | 13 |
| 10 | 181 m² | 251 m² | 261 m² | 10 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 9 habitable rooms, ranging from 148 to 304 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.
