There's a bit more to this issue than you describe above, particularly with FHA standards. Also check your local building code(s) as those codes should stipulate minimum bedroom requirements and give much more guidance on windows, window placement, minimum bedroom size, access, minimum room height, etc.
Again, FHA requirements are more stringent than most conventional loan programs but most programs still require compliance with the minimum building standards.
Best of luck on your endeavors.
