The serfs had really sloppy houses and they had to live in small houses with no fireplace for heating if they needed heat they had to go outside and start a fire. They didn't have indoors bathrooms they had to also go outside.
Wherever they wanted to live the would go. A craft worker was free, they did not have to stay at one village for their whole life like the serfs. The craft worker often made clothes in the Middle Ages.
Peasants were bound to the manor. They farmed and did other work so that the knights would protect them from Viking raids and other invasions.

During the middle ages, freedmen were likely farmers who rented land from feudal lords. Unlike the peasants or serfs, freemen were completely free to come and go as they please and earn as much income from their efforts as they were able to.

A serf was a peasant, but not all peasants were serfs.A peasant is usually a farmer. A peasant could be free or not, and though most were doubtless poor, we find references to well-to-do or prosperous peasants. Serfs are peasants legally bound to a lord's land, and were not allowed to move away. Serfs usually had to provide labor in exchange for a place to live and work.

In a few places, there were slaves, but that was not common in the middle ages. In most places, there were villeins or serfs who were bound to the land. They were not slaves, but could not legally move away. They had a right to the land, and were given a place to live and to farm, but they had to pay rent or give food to the lord. There were freemen, who were free, but worked on the land. The peasants mostly farmed, but did other types of labor, as mining, milling, or forestry.

Medieval towns people were mostly of two classes. They were either laborers who were technically serfs, but did not live on manorial estates, or they were members of the middle class. Members of both classes worked as servants, weavers, potters, carpenters, smiths, and so on. People in towns usually did not have their own cooking facilities, so there were a lot of people who cooked and sold food, especially bakers. These business were owned by middle class people, but the workers might technically have been serfs. Also, towns had lawyers, apothecaries, jewelers, inn keepers, and clerks. These were middle class people. Members of the nobility tended to live on their estates, which may have included villages, but usually did not include towns. Towns had clergy in them, and some had monasteries with monastic populations.
The lords of the middle ages made their money by taxing people and renting out their land to other people. People such as peasants would rent this land and live and farm on it.
