From reading on here before, there is no law - you would be expected to utilise another room of the house, like the living room.

Your home counts as a least 3 rooms, as your living room is counted as well. If your kitchen is large, that can also count.
A 3 roomed house can accommodate 5 people, so you are not overcrowded.
Children under the age of 10 count as half. Your children getting older is considered 'natural growth' and cannot count as overcrowding.
