box room
Tiny spare room
A box room is a small room in a house, typically used for storage.
The term is primarily British, referring to spaces barely large enough for boxes and other items that need tucking away.
Some box rooms serve as cramped spare bedrooms or home offices: Harry Potter famously slept in the box room under the stairs.
