servants' quarters
Domestic workers' rooms
Servants' quarters are the rooms or section of a house where domestic staff live, typically separate from the family's living spaces.
In large estates, these were often located in attics, basements, or detached buildings.
The term now appears mainly in historical contexts or real estate listings for older properties: The servants' quarters have been converted into a guest suite.
