our first "just us" home was an apartment in the old kitchen/outhouse and servant area of the building.

my nan's house had a "Morning room" (that's what we called it, I didn't know any different, Beest's family took the piss when I called it that....) -used to be the servant's eating/lounging area, and still had the old bell board to signal which room required attention, even though sll the internal workings of the bell system were removed (some rooms still had the thing you turned on the wall)
