Blimey, I'd class anything over 8' in both directions as a double!

Yeah, British houses are not built particularly large or generous. Even very expensive houses often have more, smaller rooms rather than fewer, larger ones.

I suspect you'll be better off finding a place that has more "bedrooms" than you want/need, but where you can take down the wall between them to make it into a generous room. Keep in mind this will probably devalue the property slightly, but if you have the budget it may be the only way to get the space you want.

this poses another problem: new builds have moving walls, so it's easy to make bedrooms coalesce, but if you do you invalidate the NHBC warranty. 

Says who? I don't see the relevance of removing (presumably) non-loadbearing walls to the sort of claim that the NHBC warranty actually covers.
