House For Sale: 12 bed, 0 bath

It has long been theorized that the British do not have anuses but proof has finally been made public with the sale of Apethorpe Hall in Northamptonshire, England. The sprawling estate recently hit the market for about $3.8 million and a bit of a catch. The manor has 48 rooms not including bathrooms. If you include the bathrooms, it has 48 rooms. That's right the gigantic mansion has no bathrooms.

It's easier finding a bathroom in a giant shopping mall

It was built between 1470 and 1480, a time in England when toilets had been banned by the royal court I assume. I've made some dumbass mistakes in my life, but building a house without a toilet is not among them. Yes, I forgot to put pants on this morning when I walked the dog and yes I once drove halfway to Vegas with the emergency brake on, but I have never forgotten the need for a toilet.
The estate has had several owners over the years, including the Catholic Church and a Libyan millionaire, none of which ever had to go boom boom apparently. It doesn't even have an outhouse, just in case. However, it does have a tremendously fertile lawn for some reason.
There are a couple more catches however, as if the lack of porcelain thrones wasn't enough. It costs about $150,000 a month for maintenance and is mandated to be open to the public 28 days a year. At least they don't have to worry about anyone clogging the pipes or going through their medicine cabinets.
I wonder how much it would cost to add a few bathrooms to the place. Let's say we want to add in a half dozen bathrooms, running new pipe service in and using fixtures that would match the rest of the manor. Then again if you can afford nearly four million for the place and the $150 grand a month for it, I'm sure you can afford adding in a few bathrooms.
