Should we all consider how we use our space in our Swindon homes before we decide to move? Before we do, let’s look at the average sizes of the properties locally.
These are the averages for the Swindon area.
- The average size of a house is 1,022 sq. ft. compared to the national average of 1,103 sq. ft.
- The average size of a bungalow is 807 sq. ft. compared to the national average of 862 sq. ft.
- The average size of a flat/apartment is 430 sq. ft. compared to the national average of 464 sq. ft.
- The average size of a maisonette is 592 sq. ft compared to the national average of 657 sq. ft.
- The overall average is 968 sq. ft. compared to the national average of 994 sq. ft.
Again, as I would expect due to our location, the average home is smaller than the national average.
In the last few years, with lockdowns, as a nation, we have started to use our homes differently.
Rooms in our homes have become interchangeable – having more bedrooms isn’t automatically the status symbol it once probably was.
Spare bedrooms have become offices, dining rooms have become gyms, and so on.
Are you willing to sacrifice living room space for an extra bedroom, even if it makes the living room feel cramped and uncomfortable?
Before selecting a home based solely on the number of bedrooms it offers, there are several factors to consider.
