If the room has a window its a bedroom if it does not then its not classed as a bedroom.
I would be interested to know where you found that classification?

The name/designation of a room is simply a convenient way to describe a house. Many people might choose to use the room originally described as a 'dining room' as their living room.
When I was a student, a bunch of us moved into a house, and I used the dining room as my bedroom. I'm sure once we moved out, if the owner had chosen to sell, he'd have described it as a 'dining room' again despite the fact I'd been sleeping there for 12 months. The next buyer might have chosen to install some plumbing and use it as a bathroom complete with jacussi.
Just because the OP's "small box room" is described as a bedroom does not mean it has to be used as such - but that does not mean it can't be!0 -

judging by the rooms ive seen recently... it sounds like a 'cosy double bedroom'.

I thought the bedroom ta was on Council and housing association tenants. If you rent privately you get LHA which is set for how many people there are, and how many bedrooms are needed for those people. So if you just need a 2 bedroom house but find a cheap 3 bedroom house that you can afford, your Local Housing Allowance shouldn't change0

Only in EA-speak can a room with no window be classified as a bedroom.
For Building Regs a bedroom needs to have a secondary escape route if the hallway is on fire, and out the window is the expected route (the fact that the window is on the 5th floor is irrelevent for this requirement)0
