Is a balcony a room in a flat?

I'm a little bit confused about the definition of the term "balcony". Is it a kind of room in a flat as like a living room, bedroom, bathroom, utility room? Or it's is it just not a "room" simply because it is open-plan?

When someone asks me to describe a room in my flat, can I describe my balcony?


This is a balcony: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=balcony&biw=1060&bih=948&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiDw-XFzsDMAhUJLsAKHV3_AnQQ_AUIBigB

A balcony wouldn't be considered a room, no.

It's not a room. It is an extension to a room on the outside of the building . It is not at ground level. Many people who live in high-rise apartment blocks have a balcony.
