Propery Question Cesspit and Oil

[Too Late]

We are viewing a house this weekend and they have a Cesspit and and Oil tank.

I havent lived anywhere which has either. Can someone share any experiences on having either of these?

Thanks

Thanks everyone who replied.

The property is around 500 years old.

In the listing it states the property has septic tank drainage and has oil central heating. Stupidly, i thought a Cesspit and Septic tank were the same..

Really appreciate all the advice..

Thanks
