LabelHow many rooms do you have altogether in your accommodation?
Question text How many rooms do you have altogether in your accommodation, that's excluding bathrooms and toilets, but including kitchens? If a room is open-plan count it as 2 rooms if it is divided by a sliding or folding partition. Count it as 1 room if it is divided by curtains or portable screens. In general, include any room which is habitable or usable by the household all year round. If a room is open-plan count it as 2 rooms if it is divided by a sliding or folding partition. Count it as 1 room if it is divided by curtains or portable screens. If the respondent mentions a dinette attached to a kitchen, probe whether it is separated by a folding partition and if so, count it as a separate room. Halls, landings and alcoves are not separate rooms. If there is any doubt about whether to count a room (particularly with attics, conservatories or basements) probe whether the room can be used all year round and whether it was built/converted for the purpose of living accommodation. If it is a basement or attic is there a window/skylight. In order to be comparable with Census measures, if a kitchen is less than 6.5ft/2m wide at its narrowest point then it must not be counted as a room.
