Channel 4's A Place in the Sun buyers cut viewing short over problematic pool

Buyers on A Place in the Sun cut a viewing short on today's show due to a problematic swimming pool.

Jean Johansson helped couple Maria and Andy look for their own little slice of paradise in Cyprus. They got married on the island and are now planning the big move to live their permanently.

With a budget of £140,000 they hoped to find their dream future home in Famagusta. They wanted a semi-detached property with a private pool and enclosed area for their cat, Keo, and a minimum of two bedrooms.

However, they added a further request onto their list of demands after viewing their first property. Jean showed them a three-bedroomed villa in a village called Vrysoules on the market for £113,983.

The home came with it's own pool and garden area, but the soon-to-be homeowners were less than impressed still. The pool proved to be a problem as it was located at the front of the property rather than at the back.

Maria and Andy asked to leave the house before looking at any of the bedrooms. Maria explained that she expected it to be "a lot more modern."

They also added that the pool was a huge issue. Andy said: "It's quite a big issue. If I want my pool bar I don't think the neighbours would be too happy."

Fans on Twitter agreed with the buyers. Shrimpsy said: "Pool out front ? Nah ! In me little swim suit while people driving by #aplaceinthesun."

Mildred said: "Anyone passing by will be having a dip in that pool #aplaceinthesun." Meanwhile, Tony said: "Space around pool is verging on none existent! #APLACEINTHESUN."
