Does anybody know what constitutes the minimum dimensions to
define a bedroom as such? I'm really talking about estate
agent parlance - they can't get away with describing something
as a bedroom when it's really a cupboard.

I don't know if there are any rules, but I'd guess that any room
which can fit a single bed (maybe even a narrow one, 2'6") with
enough room to walk down one side could be counted a bedroom.

That makes a min size of ~6'6" x 3'6", or about 2mx1m.
But that would be taking the **** a bit.

Depends on the particular market, but yeah -- that'd be a serious
****- take, to me!

[We have 5 bedrooms, the smallest of which is 8' x 6'6"
(2.4mx2.0m) -- if I hung the door so it swung outward I could fit
a 4' double bed in there, easy.......an estate agent's "Double
Bedroom?" ]


Last weeks Property Ladder one of the estate agents who was
looking round took a measurement and said "just a bedroom" so I'd
guess it was to fit a single bed in it at a minimum?

Probably, for marketing; not sure.

For real life, a bed, side table and small wardrobe/bookcase affair
would be a minimum. (For me, anyway.)
