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 Wem, Astley, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 40 m² | 48 m² | 54 m² | 37 |
| 3 | 53 m² | 62 m² | 90 m² | 196 |
| 4 | 61 m² | 78 m² | 108 m² | 324 |
| 5 | 77 m² | 95 m² | 135 m² | 549 |
| 6 | 99 m² | 123 m² | 167 m² | 637 |
| 7 | 112 m² | 144 m² | 203 m² | 608 |
| 8 | 130 m² | 176 m² | 238 m² | 400 |
| 9 | 143 m² | 214 m² | 276 m² | 133 |
| 10 | 174 m² | 261 m² | 345 m² | 67 |
| 11 | 161 m² | 229 m² | 456 m² | 26 |
| 12 | 298 m² | 346 m² | 507 m² | 27 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 11 habitable rooms, ranging from 161 to 456 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.
