That sounds like a dare.

A macerating pump is a combination of a sharp, rotating chopping blade and a sewage pump. They’re typically used to push both graywater and blackwater sewage longish distances through a much smaller pipe than a normal gravity draining sewer pipe. For example, macerating pumps made for RVs or boats can push blackwater out through an ordinary garden hose to a drain, (but be careful not to confuse that hose with your freshwater hose!) They often require you to use special dissolving toilet paper, and not flush anything else, like regular toilet paper, tissues, food waste larger than particle size, etc. Once you clean them out a few times, you’ll know exactly what not to flush.
Permanent pumps are often installed in cabins or homes near bodies of water where the sewage has to be lifted up a hill to connect to a city sewer, or pushed hundreds of feet inland where a drain tile field can be installed that won’t directly empty into the water table.

Your post followed by some meandering (of course!) led me to the for sale listing for that house!

It’s got a ton of great pictures of the house and setting. What an amazing house. 1.2 million GBP which is probably not any more than they spent restoring and modifying it!!

I think most of us fantasize about owning a funky place like this, but the reality is it’s a nightmare, particularly for something that can be considered historical. Even ignoring the crazy upkeep you’d need on something this old and unique, there is the issue of remoteness-- you can find cool old churches and huge Victorian mansions for cheap out in the middle of nowhere, but unless you’re financially independent or work from home (now more common, thanks to the interwebs) you’re in for a hell of a commute.
