Were bathrooms with toilets and tubs commonly in use in 1858 England?
Would it be plausible to have an old manor house, a couple hundred years old, that, in 1858 is being used as a boarding/finishing school, have working bathrooms, or would they still be hauling water from the kitchen?

In residential homes they used chamber-pots stored beneath the bed or in a chest next to the bed. Bath tubs were also used but there was no bathroom – the tubs were in the bedroom.
There were bathhouses for institions, but the chamber pot was used there too.
