Answer:

I think the inmates of the house are the phantoms who once used to dwell in it .

Explanation:

The poem is implying that the people in the house are dead and thus ghosts or that only ghostly presences remain from prior inhabitants.  We have some clues to this in the text of the poem.  

   'But only a host of phantom listeners    

   That dwelt in the lone house then' (lines 13-14)
