No, as the saying of Abu Bakar ra (Bukhari) clarified that the property of prophet s.a.w (including rooms of wives of prophet s.a.w) was sadaqa, however, it could be used by his family but it's not inherited.
Abu Bakr ra said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “We (Prophets) are not to be inherited from, and whatever we leave behind is charity. Rather the family of Muhammad may live on this wealth (that belongs to Allah).”
