 JW> In real estate a room needs both a closet and a window large enough
 JW> to get through in case of a fire to be called a bedroom. Otherwise
 JW> it's a den, home office or hobby room.

That is true here in the USA as well.
 
 DS> When we lived in England, our house was lacking closets.  I believe
 DS> that to have been true of a lot of homes there.  Folks used free
 DS> standing closets (chifaroles?)

 JW> I think the word you searching for is chiffonier. But a chiffonier
 JW> is a high narrow chest of drawers or dresser. Also known in the
 JW> furniture trade as a "highboy".

That is probably the word I wanted.  We have one of those in our current
bedroom.  We also have a very large walk in closet, I'd guess 10 foot by
6 foot.

 JW> Portable closets are usually called
 JW> wardrobes and armoires.

Armoires sounds like the type of thing they used for such bedrooms.

 JW> A closet, like a pantry, is an architectural feature whereas a
 JW> wardrobe or armoire, like a chest of drawers, is a piece of
 JW> furniture.

Yep.
