Do you need a gatehouse for the servants to live in separately, so they are removed but available quickly before the echo of the bell has diminished.

You’re right, I do need a gatehouse! And a gate.

But the staff quarters; I was thinking of putting them in the basement which is why I asked if they need windows.ChrispinEvan is correct though, the staff will only really be in their quarters for 2 or 3 hours a night when I let them sleep, so windows are superfluous.

Makes sense.
Now do you have any inbreed deformed relatives you can keep under the floorboards you feed with fish heads
If so this will require some space, probably not standing height but at least crawling

I thought deformed relatives lived in attics
