Good isnt it! Well, until you want to see anything on the other side of the room.I've always wondered what the reason behind it was!
I have seen pull cords on the wall where the bed would be a lot in older houses, but in conjunction with switch on the wall by the door.

Not uncommonly wired in series, rather than proper 2-way, I believe.
You're saying you have just a pull cord in the room, along the middle of a wall (perhaps where the bed would be)?
Have you looked behind the door???
When doors get re-hung the modern, non privacy way, the switch often gets left where it is.

Unless he has never closed his bedroom door, I'm sure he would have noticed if there was a switch there.
It's a long shot, but I'm guessing he's not been there long as he would have done something about it.
Thought I should mention it anyway.
Can't think why else you wouldn't have a switch by the door.
Another remote possibility is the wall switch may have been plastered over for some bizarre reason.

Which is super convenient for all!
Pre cast concreate walls ? There is an estate near me built in the 40's with concreate walls , skirting , floor joists, and all the bedroom lights are via pull cords ....
