servants quarters
Domestic help's rooms
Servants quarters are the living spaces in a large house or estate designated for domestic staff—cooks, maids, butlers, and the like.
Historically these were modest rooms separate from the main living areas, often in attics, basements, or detached buildings.
The term evokes an era of formal household service: The old mansion still had servants quarters above the carriage house.
Also spelled servant's quarters or servants' quarters.
