Abitazione di guardianaggio

English translation: Caretaker's House/Cottage

Italian term or phrase: Abitazione di guardianaggio
In the context of a lease, a company is renting a warehouse, offices and an "Abitazione di guardianaggio".

Since "Guardianaggio" brings to mind security, could this be some apartment for a security guard?

The hits I found on google for "Abitazione di guardianaggio" and "Casa di guardianaggio" give me the impression that the term has nothing to do with security. And, now I'm totally confused!

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!

guardhouse


Explanation:
si si, si tratta proprio di "guardiole" o casette per i custodi, sia per depositi o anche strutture balneari, percio' nel contesto va bene.
