I (£2 million?!) also don't (TWO?!) like the decor (two MILLION!) at all, it's very dark (you could get a house with grounds in Scotland for that!) and seems to me to be (TWO MILLION POUNDS) ostentatiously tasteless. Two mill (£2,000,000) for a house I'd want to gut immediately

Or is the table somehow built-in to the wall, so you have to keep (and pay for) it? Every option somehow seems like the worst.
