I'm not a real estate expert or anything, but I am pretty sure that if a bedroom doesn't come with a closet in America it is considered an office. Bedrooms need two things really, a bed, and a place to put your clothes... most people like to spice things up with a night stand, and a desk or vanity, and maybe a chest of drawers or a dresser, but the necessities are bed... closet... so why am I telling you this??
Because the UK has wardrobes... you know what a wardrobe is... it's the secret entrance into Narnia where the winter coats are kept in the spare room. It's like a closet except you can move it around in the room or take it when you leave that residence. Some wardrobes are "built in" which means someone came and professionally measured your room and decided the best use of space would be a specific wardrobe that is now mounted to the wall, similar to kitchen cabinets.
Occasionally you even get a closet... in my house 2 out of the 5 bedrooms have closets. 1 of the closets is in my bedroom, but it's really more of an attic crawl space. I can't stand up right in it, but I keep my clothes in there anyway, because I am an American, and we keep our clothes in closets. The other closet is in my daughter Aria's room. The previous owners turned what was actually a hall closet into a bedroom closet by knocking out one of the walls in the bedroom, and sealing off the original entrance to the closet. Two of the rooms have built in wardrobes, and one room has nothing at all. I use that as my office. :) It's about the size my closet was in America... granted I has TWO walk in closets so maybe that's an unfair comparison.
