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 Appleton Thorn, Daresbury, 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 | 55 m² | 386 |
| 3 | 48 m² | 61 m² | 77 m² | 601 |
| 4 | 65 m² | 78 m² | 95 m² | 1,375 |
| 5 | 72 m² | 90 m² | 115 m² | 2,125 |
| 6 | 89 m² | 110 m² | 147 m² | 1,006 |
| 7 | 116 m² | 153 m² | 201 m² | 745 |
| 8 | 143 m² | 185 m² | 295 m² | 511 |
| 9 | 169 m² | 222 m² | 319 m² | 273 |
| 10 | 186 m² | 286 m² | 382 m² | 106 |
| 11 | 221 m² | 318 m² | 395 m² | 28 |
| 12 | 346 m² | 406 m² | 678 m² | 22 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 8 habitable rooms, ranging from 143 to 295 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.
