anteroom/front room

Explanation:
(I'm assuming you can tell from the context that this word refers to a room, because I agree that it can also be a name.)

You might also say "entrance hall/corridor," "spare room," or "workroom," depending on the room's placement within the house.

I'm on my mobile, so I can't easily post references now, but I will when I get to my computer.

"間室" appears several times in this PDF, but I think page 5 is most helpful.

予備室＝spare room

I added this last reference just to give context to the catalog entry.

Mamuro

Explanation:
This word is read "Mamuro", a name of a place in Hyogo, Japan. There is no such word in Japanese that 間室 is used as noun or verb.

If there is a number written with the word 間室, it would simply mean the number of rooms, but the word itself is not in the dic. I need the whole sentence to be sure though.
